hmph

One of the women i work with cornered me this morning with "so, are you gonna tell me soon or what?" and stared at my midsection.  

1.  I haven't even told my dad yet

2.  I've only gained 2.5 lbs, but they (and the weight missing from my skinny legs) has gone straight to my belly but I've been trying to cover it with sweaters

3.  If I wanted people to know, I'd say "Hey, I'm pregnant"

I was so shocked I just stared at her with my mouth open.  That's not a dead givaway, is it?  I said "How'd you know" and she said "well, you stopped going to the gym, are eatting way more takeout and you look like shiot"

Therin lies the Hmph

  • Dump a glass of water on her head and tell her she looks like shiit.

    Me neither.  I wouldn't even ask a close friend or family this.  People have all sorts of reasons that they may not be telling.  It's just so rude.

  • I'm astounded.  Was this woman raised by wolves?  If so, then I can understand her rude behavior. If not, it makes no sense.

    There's a woman I work with and though I thought she was pregnant for a while, I only started asking her about it once I overheard her discussing it with another coworker.  That's kind of my benchmark - I don't bring it up until the pregnant person already has.

  • I wouldn't take her comments personally. She's obviously an idiot.  Her audacity astonds me.

  • "I look like shiit because I'm pregnant. What's your excuse?"

  • I'm not taking it personally, I do look like shiot.   I think her perspectiv eis that we're friends so she should be able to be blunt.  I would say we're work-friends, and no one should be that blunt.

  • I really like Noisy's reply.

    I have not had anyone ask me if I'm pregnant yet (thank god, and I'm definitely packing extra weight around the middle) but my MIL, after we told her Saturday, said "I KNEW IT!" and then listed all the clues that tipped her off. Apparently she has been examining my every move for the past 3 months.

  • I am one of those that almost always guesses before my friends want to tell. As hard as it is, I keep my damn mouth shut for the most part

  • When someone looks like sh!t b/c they're pregnant, that's when you say, "You have that pregnant glow about you!" We all know what it means, but you say it anyway.
