I had to start a list

I've heard that people can say the darnedest things to you when you are pregnant. Little did I know...
So, after a little while, I started compiling a list. I mean, some of these things that come out of people's mouths are just amazing, that's all there is to it. I would come home and tell Ben and we would just laugh (ok, sometimes he had to help me laugh a little bit) at the latest unsolicited observation.
So here are a few things from the past couple of months that have been thrown my way, just for a good laugh.

And to the ladies who have been or are pregnant out there, please tell me, did you get any comments like this??

Here it goes-


"So how far along are you, 8 or 81/2 months?" (Um, I was 3. Thank you. And no, I promise I haven't gained that much weight. At all.) Can I just mention that this person was all of 5'1" and 75lbs. Exactly.

"You're pregnant. You don't need that donut. Here, have a banana."

Observer- "So, how are you feeling?" Me- "Great, I'm just so hungry all the time!" Observer- "You'd better eat carrots."

"Look! She has pregnant face!" (Excuse me, but what the beep does that mean?!?!? My face looks just fine thankyouVERYMUCH!)

"Gosh, you LOOK PREGNANT. Like, really pregnant, today."
(**Edit-Except for when Shawna says it. Because she says it good-heartedly and with love. This I know is true. She has shared in my pregnancy excitement daily and it is priceless to me!)

"How much weight have you gained?" (Multiply this question times 10. Maybe 15. This question is usually followed by "Me/my mom/my grandma/my great-aunt's-third-cousin-twice-removed only gained 13 lbs her entire pregnancy!") Gee. Thanks.

"You know, the more of those little 'treats' you eat now, the harder you will have to pay for it later."

I now feel like I should post a picture of myself to prove to no one in particular besides me that I am not as big as a house, that nothing about my face has changed ( please believe me, because I asked more than one friend I knew would be brutally honest even though I was a little terrified of their answer), and that my doctor said I was no where near over-sized after I shared with her some of these comments and I had started getting a little neurotic about it.

But that would be vain.

So I'll post one tomorrow.
=)

Pregnant and Proud,
xoxo

*Oops- I forgot one:
"Honey, you may as well stop trying to wear those high heels. Because no matter how high that heel is, it will not help make that belly look any smaller."
Gosh, I hate it when my unintended tricks don't work.
