“Yep, she is definately pregnant!”
“That baby is done”
“That baby has dropped”
“Any day now”
“She looks like she’d have that baby at any minute”
“I bet she’s ready”
“Not long now”
All of these things I hear as I pass people at Wal-mart while grocery shopping. It isn’t so much that they are talking about me but they could at least be quiet about it. I mean if I am going to talk about someone behind their back, I’m definately going to make sure that they DON’T HEAR ME! I mean how incredibly rude is it to pass someone in the supermarket aisle only to hear them say, just as your back is turned, “Wow, she is HUGE!!!”. No, really, thank you for pointing out the obvious as if I didn’t wake up this morning and feel how extremely large I really am. As if my back and feet don’t scream at me on a regular basis at the roundness that is my ever expanding waist band.
I get it people, I’m pregnant. I’m fat. I’m round. I’m huge. Whatever label you want to put on me is fine just please stop making the habit of having to point it out to me everywhere I go. Stop telling me I’m ready to have the kid, stop telling me how large I am, and for goodness sakes stop TOUCHING MY BELLY.
Sheesh! I’m fed up with it. This is why I don’t leave the house. I love being a homebody because I don’t have to put up with peoples stupid comments on a daily basis. I’m sorry but the last thing a 9 month pregnant woman wants to hear is how fat she is.

On a side note: the photo above was taken a couple of days ago right after I took a shower, hence the towel head….LOL.

I completely understand how you feel! I went through the same thing when I had my son. By the way, you have an absolutely adorable baby bell! I wish mine would have been shaped more like yours.. instead, my son made me look like I had a watermelon on the front of my body!
[…] I just returned from grocery shopping at the ever famous Wally World. Let me say it was very interesting and by the time I left I was about ready to slug everyone that came in my path. You can read the details over at Belly Bean. […]
I don’t know exactly how you feel b/c I’m not to that point yet, but I’m only 10 weeks and people are already telling me I have a pooch. You don’t even start showing until 4 months!!! So basically they are noticing my pre-existing gut…thanks everyone for pointing that out! And I think if one more person touches my stomach I’m going to smack them. Only 7 more months of this…

Yeah people are kinda rude. You look beautiful tho. Dont you love showers?
and sweats!!!
The burn looks much better.
I cant wait to see your beautiful baby. Whens the due date?
Be glad people aren’t saying “oh what size pants do you wear? you’re tiny.” I seriously hate people like that. Poor belly, I burn myself a lot as it is, I’m taking notes from you.
