Small...
Just came back from the OB's office. I'm measuring on the smaller side, it seems. They say she will probably only be around 7 lbs. That's so different from my experience with Henry when they were constantly telling me what a big baby he'd be (He was 8lbs 3oz). I guess we'll just have to wait and see. I am not feeling all that ready at home (still some things to be done) but physcially and emotionally I am pretty fried. The emotional part is mostly due to the constant harrassment I receive from strangers -I don't remember this last time. I think I was just so giddy with pregnancy that I didn't mind and now I am just so annoyed by it. It's everyday. The grocery store is the worst. It astounds me how it's apparently okay to comment on a woman's size, if she's pregnant. I don't mind being told I look good of course, it's the "Oh dear God you are huge" comments that are irritating--expecially since I'm really not, for a woman days away from delivery. I think some people just do not see enough pregnant woman so close to their due date and so when they see me they think I'm abnormally large--I don't know. But I'm tired of it. I don't even respond anymore. I seriously ignore these people like they're asking me for money.

Hey there Bob,
ReplyDeleteIt's Ashley Dawn's sister. I am due in 5 weeks and get the same freakin comments. I work in a school and it seems that every single day at least 2 teachers make comments without thinking. I get, "are you sure you're not having twins?" at least twice a week. And, "You're not going to make it." And, "That baby is going to be hanging down to your knees by next week." My favorite? "You look great! You just have a pregnant face." Nice huh? Funny thing is? I have gained 1/2! the weight that i did last time and no one has given me a trophy for that. Bottom line, people suck
! I feel your pain...hang in there!
