I swear to never say anything to a pregnant woman again other than:
"you look great"
period.

well almost....
I thought I would take a moment to record the funny things people have said to me during this pregnancy.
This past March I was on the gondola at Snowbasin with Master. At this point I am a good 7.5 months pregnant. I've got my snow parka on. This lady on the Gondola asks Master how many brothers and sisters he has. Master refuses to answer her, so I answer for him. "He has a younger brother and sister and will have another baby brother here in about 2 months." The lady says, "Oh I didn't think you were pregnant, I just thought you were fat."
About the same time these comments came from some of my offices:
"Oh my gosh you're huge"
"Your belly came through the door before you did"
"Are you pregnant?" no just leftovers from Christmas...
Today I'm at the gas station getting a drink, lady next to me says:
"How far along are you?"
"I've got just under three weeks left"
"I thought so because you look like you're just going to POP"

Seriously...people are STUPID! And I mean heads full of nothing but ROCKS!!! And I'm pretty sure they literally FLOCK to us! I've heard some real doozies!
I think you should have posted Brody and Katelyn's comments when they were here. Those were funny - ok maybe not to you, but funny.
Keep on enduring. You only have a little longer.
I can't believe you only have 3 weeks!
It flies by when I only see you once in the nine months :) And for the record - when I saw you pregnant, I thought you were one of the most glamorous pregnant women I've ever seen!
You are beautiful. Belly, or no belly.
What kills me about these comments, is that they are from women who have most likely been pregnant - it's insane!! I love pregnant bellies - always have - and yours is no exception:)
Note to self NEVER make any comment whatsoever regarding a woman being pregnant or not being pregnant. This after I insisted that Joanne's friend just had to be pregnant and would not drop the subject. She replied, "No I am just fat!"
Did I ever tell you what my own mother told me? When she saw a picture of me outside the hospital about to have a c-section with Abby, she said "Whoa! You were HUUUUGE"! Gee...thanks MOM! :p
You're a hottie and those ladies were just jealous that they couldn't rock the baby belly like you!
I hate people, didn't their Moms ever teach them if you don't have anything nice to say don't say it at all? I also get the "what are you having" and when I say we didn't find out they flip out and go off, um excuse me it's MY baby!
