Yesterday I got several comments about how big my tummy is getting. I dont mind it really, because I know that I'm doing my best to stay healthy and keep the weight gain under control. But c'mon, cut a girl some slack. lol. It's not so bad really. It's just making me a little self conscious. In pregnancy, I'm realizing that I definitely carry baby out. You know how some people carry around? Not me, I carry out.
I'm six months pregnant and last night someone said, wow, are you carrying twins? She also asked if I thought baby would wait 3 more months to come. lol. She's a sweet heart lady I dance with, so I know she meant no harm. But couple those comments with a comment from my coworkers who say I look the same size as my other coworker who is due 1 month ahead of me, and yup, I'm starting to feel pretty large. After making comments on my size, they all say, I look great and I'm just a taller (understood as "bigger") person than my coworker or friends who are or were pregnant, but still...I know I'm big, thanks for pointing it out.
So now I wonder, is baby boy just a big baby or am I just one of those people who are "big?" Who knows.
As long as baby is healthy, that's all that matters, I suppose.
I think you look perfect. People are so dumb sometimes! I think they forget how incredibly huge women are at 40 weeks!
ReplyDeleteHave you had the grabby hands yet? Those who think that not only are you pregnant but that you are budda too?
ReplyDeleteWell....looking at your pictures, you don't look big at all, just pregnant....people have no common sense. can't wait to hear the comments myself.....everyone keeps looking for my belly so as soon as it shows I am sure everyone is going to have to point it out :)
ReplyDeletejust from the pics I wouldn't say you were big ever! YOur beautiful and pregnant!!! your beautiful baby belly bump shows because you were so skinny to begin with, with a nice flat tummy!
ReplyDeleteIts good your takingi t all in stride and know no one means bad but I'm sure its still annoying at times1
I am really going to scream if one more person tells me how "big" I am!!
ReplyDeleteEmbrace your beautiful belly in all it's glory - absolutely nothing to be self conscious about! You have been patiently waiting for this miracle for 2 years and you need to enjoy every minute of this pregnancy because it's beautiful and baby is growing! So next time someone makes a comment, rub your belly and say, yup and I'm darn proud because my little guy is growing big and strong! ;)
ReplyDeleteYes your tummy is big - it's supposed to be! Yay for a gorgeous belly baby.. what you prayed for for so long. You look great - stick it out there with pride. :)
ReplyDeleteHow is DH doing? Are you getting excited about delivery yet?
You are absolutely right that it doesn't matter how big you get. As long as the baby is healthy then you are the perfect size.
ReplyDeleteSonya - oh yeah, I'm excited about the upcoming due date. I've been watching Birth Day shows in preparation and we're going to a child birth preparation class (the free one, not the expensive one) and I've put in our que on our netflix account a childbirth DVD. I cant wait to meet my little guy, or actually, I can wait about 10 weeks!
ReplyDeleteGirl.. wait til you get to the end!! People are NUTS! ha ha!! Enjoy your pregnancy... who cares about looking big... it's such a great experience!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing the thoughtless comments people will make to a pregnant woman. No, the usually don't mean any harm, but THINK people!
ReplyDeleteYou are right - as long as he's healthy!!
