Seriously, Think Before You Speak

We went to the grocery store tonight. I used to love going by myself and actually still do. It is just much easier to have John there with me right now. I can't bend all the way over to get things out of the cart...that is actually pretty embarrassing! :)

One of the workers came up to me and started asking me questions about my pregnancy. She was super nice and had a 3 month old. We talked about how young Preston is and etc. We then went our separate ways. She then ended up sacking our groceries and she started talking to me again about the pregnancy. As many of you know, I'm done with this pregnancy but I put on a happy face and talked to her. She then tells me, "You know, I got big with my daughter but I don't think I ever got that big and to think you still have 2 more weeks left." Oh my gosh!! I couldn't even believe my ears. How do you respond to that?? I know she didn't mean anything by it but wow!

LOL... I know Heather. I think I said that you were big yesterday also, but my mindset is that I LOVE big baby bellies! The bigger the better. I was so excited that my belly got so big with the twins. Warped I know! I forget that most people don't share my twisted view. It's just so amazing to me how our bodies adapt and change during pregnancy. Hopefully she was coming from a positive view... and you do look absolutely terrific.

And the other thing, now that it's been 20 months since I was pregnant I'm finally starting to forget how uncomfortable it really is!
