Well this week has been the week for people to acknowledge my pregnant belly... when I say acknowledge I mean say just about whatever is on their mind. I don't mind people
thinking things about how I look or what they think of my belly...think away, but please don't want you to actually tell me what you're thinking!! I guess people assume when you're pregnant you don't have feelings and that whatever silly thing they are about say you will be immune to... well it is quite the contrary my friends! Emotions and feelings are at an all time high! I've learned to just let it roll and laugh about it :) I'll share a few of the funny things people have said....
Patient at work (says to one of my co-workers)- "Oh wow Brianna sure is big... she must be due next week right??"
Me-(thinking to myself) wrong lady try adding a few more weeks to that!
Various people- "My goodness you look like you're ready to pop!!"
Me-"Uhh... why thank you..."
Man behind me in line at the dollar store- "So when are you due?"
Me-January 19th
Man at the store-How exciting do you know what you're having?
(I'm thinking how nice he is, and how refreshing it is to have a friendly conversation after hearing the many funny things people have had to say to me about being pregnant)
Me- It's a girl :)
Man at the store- "Well you sure look miserable, I bet you can't wait for her to be out!'
Me- Gee thanks :/
Nurse at the Dr's office-(Looks at my feet and ankles...)"Oh wow look at those ankles, you sure do have some swelling!"
Me-Yeah...obviously
Nurse-(Lifts my shirt to get the baby's heart beat) "My goodness your belly has already stretched so much, I don't know how much more it can go, you're sure getting big!"
Me-.....at this point I have no words.....
At times I would like to crawl in a hole, and come out when the baby is born. But then tell myself to snap out of it! Yes I may be extra round...have a rather large belly.... look like I'm ready to pop...and have swollen ankles... and when people remind me of all this I just have to laugh :)
