Today I've heard, "I wish Buttons wasn't pregnant." Uncomfortably long pause. "I wish she could be on my wallyball team." "You're pregnant? You don't look pregnant." And apprently some other unknowing stranger thought I looked pregnant enough that he put his back to the wall in the staircase so I could fit through.

I just need one day where people don't say anything about it.

Also, I wish someone would have warned me that my dogs would try to attach their noses to my boobs to confirm my pregnancy. They freak me out.

Ugh. Unnecessary commentary; gotta love it.

Hope everyone gets over themselves soon for your sanity's sake.

I'm pretty jealous that you don't look pregnant by this point. I had a nice bloat gut going on that I thought was giant.

Yes

This is why I am so grateful for my non-childbearing friends. I know that I can safely go out to lunch with them and once they finish asking me how I feel I can safely assume that the rest of the conversation will revert to animals, how much our husbands work, school and the weather.

I definitely look pregnant to the people who are used to seeing me non-pregnant. I've been wearing my fleece over my uniform because the comments are excessive. "Are you guys excited?" "Is the nursery ready yet?" "Do you have everything you need?" "Are you going to do it naturally?" all in a normal day. I DON'T KNOW. I own five cloth diapers, one onesie, and a pair of wool pants. That's it. No, I'm not prepared. I'm more terrified than excited. No, the chances of using my 'gina during childbirth are really slim because of hospital policy. You don't even know me, you are my husband's subordinate, WHY ARE YOU ASKING about my plans for va.gin.al birth?

Oh, those are joyful times. I once had a very large and excitable man come running at me down a hall as I came out of a bathroom at the mall. I heard, "Oh my gawwwwwd!" Looked up and there he was at a full run coming at me with his hands reaching for my belly. Hell no, dude! I don't know you!

I haven't had this pleasure yet as I'm sure it's only noticable to me right now. But I'm dreading the day these kinds of comments start coming at me. I don't know why people think that you being pregnant gives them a free pass to be all up in your personal business.

You should come hang around me. I havent said anything about your pregnancy in ages.

I'd like to tell you that people start to mind their own business eventually but that would be a lie.

I'm sorry. I will say at least you are legit pregnant. At my Dad's funeral I had literally 4 people come up to me and say "Ohh you must be his pregnant daughter." At which point I barked back-- "No that would be my sister who is standing right next to me 5 months pregnant but thanks."

I hope you'll be able to surround yourself with people who wont forget you have other things going for you besides carrying twins.

Exactly this, it seemed the farther a long I got in pregnancy the more people had diarrhea of the mouth, the stuff people say to pregnant ladies is just amazing some times, also some also think it's okay to invade your space and rub on your belly it happened twice one with a co-worker and once with a total stranger. Both times things ended very badly for them.

My dog Sasha was on me like white on rice from second trimester on, to the point where I almost tripped over her a few times because she would lay right under me if I was sitting on the couch and I would step on her when I got up from the sofa.

It is freaky! My cats would sleep on my belly or right next to me. I just wanted space!

Indifferent

I made plans this weekend with someone who's seven months pregnant and much shorter than I am, so hopefully people will be too occupied by her belly to comment on mine. Strategery.

Thanks, everybody. I'm looking forward to lots of quiet time (and space!) this weekend.
