I realize this is old news for you all; trust me, it is for me too. But people’s inappropriate comments still never cease to amaze me. Today the woman who checked me out at the grocery store gave me a super-smiley “Wow! You look like you’re ready to pop NOW!”
This comment was made right AFTER I told her my due date was a month away.
SERIOUSLY? Seriously.
In defense of my belly and our baby girl, at yesterday’s visit to the good ol’ OB, my midwife measured me/my belly and her exact comment was “perfect.” And she knows my due date. Maybe I can get her to put that in writing for me…

get used to that comment. Unfortunatly, you will probably hear a few more times.
Sometimes people say the silliest things. Quite honestly though Lib, I think you look great and you should be very proud that you are able to provide the environment your child needs in order for her to grow into a beautiful precious human being. I agree with your doctor…you are doing everything perfectly.
I’ll make you a pin that says your little girl is scheduled to pop on 9/26. Would that help?
Jo – Thanks! I am definitely getting used to it…I just wonder what goes through people’s heads when they say this stuff!
Jess – Thanks! I do feel good knowing she is growing very…healthily!
Pam – Ha! I wish that would solve the problem, but I think that would be a bit optimistic considering my recent experiences!
