I can't decide if I'm offended or if I should be offended. Should I care if someone looks at me and says, "wow, that's a big baby", or "you have 2 and a half months left! I thought you were due soon".
I know most of it is ignorance, but I can't help but feel a twinge of anger. My baby is measuring exactly how she should be, so no, she is not a big baby. That only leaves the word big to be applied to ME! So there in lies the offense.
I've read enough to know that this is a common occurrence (seriously people, just don't say anything at all. Unless you want to say how I'm glowing or how great I look, just keep your mouth shut). So, I will get over it but I do fear what will be said once I actually do resemble a house!
For those of you who have reached out to me and been so sweet and helpful, I thank you! You have no idea how much I appreciate it. The "Mom Club" is one I am very proud to now be a member of. As a friend once told me "Us mom's stick together". Love you all!
Get this. I was asked - at 7 months - if I was "ready to pop with twins". I got the Big Belly comments all the time, even though Max measured to the centimeter what he should have each week. I think your belly must just look big compared to your tiny frame, which would totally explain it all!
ReplyDeleteOh, how I hear you! I would get comments like that all the time with Evan and Grayson. People really just don't think before speaking. You lok FABULOUS and don't you dare think otherwise!
