everyone: "Oh My Gosh! When are you due???"
Me: "December 18th"
everyone: "But your huge!!!"
me: "yes"
everyone: "its remarkable! Your belly is so much bigger that most peoples at this point! There is no way you'l go till December 18th! You are even bigger than your sister and she is a month ahead!!!"
me: "yes"
everyone: "i mean seriously! Its amazing how huge you are!!!"
me: "thanks" (thinking "don't cry" "maybe we should call Guiness Book" How have I only gained 15 lbs and am remarkable huge" and "BITE ME!")
Yes believe it or not almost EVERYONE says the same things to me. Its nice and good for the self esteem. Jared has offered a couple times to tell people how rude they are being but its easier just to nodd and walk off. The he gets to wipe the tears when we get home. Some people do say "you look so cute!" every time I see them, which I know is a lie because I am remarkably huge and the mumu look is not in style. On a happier note, its homecoming week and my usually over the top costumes don't fit... But is sweats day today and I am wearing sweat pants adn a sweat shirt that comes to my (still innie) belly button. My school friends are really nice and tell me that I am not Guinness book huge for having a Singleton baby, but normal and people forget. I have my glucose test tomorrow so went against the Sweet tea at sonic and opted for diet Dr Pepper. Sonic tea isn't the same with splenda...

People, overall are idiots. Well meaning, sweet, thoughtful, idiots
I'm a friend of Kelli Galyean, and I read your blog.
I am 29 weeks right now myself. No one has really mentioned my size this time, but I heard it ALL with my first baby. Seriously, people should just know when to zip it. Like it's not enough to feel like you're the size of a house without people discussing it.....
People are clueless... and... I totally got that ALL THE TIME! Now since I've had the girls people say things like- you had twins four weeks ago? There's no way! So... which is it? I'm huge and about to pop and now people can't believe I popped! People don't know when to keep their mouths closed! Don't worry! It's worth ANYTHING to have a sweet healthy baby!
Tell them to shut up!!
I will never forget eating at Taco Bueno when I was about 38W pregnant and this guy just kept going on about how uncomfortable I looked, and I was like no really I am ok, and he kept going about how miserable I looked!
Just tell them you your water will break all over their shoes if they don't watch out because they might be right! You could "go" any time! Then cry just to make them feel bad, even if you don't really want to. I bet they'll shut up then! Or, repeat after me, "I am big as a house and am having a litter."
Hey, sweet Maddie! I found your blog on Lauren's - it is truly amazing how rude people can be about pregnant bellies. It makes me especially mad when women who have children do it - do they not remember feeling like an elephant? I'm sure you look great!
