I think some people have the list of stupid things to say to pregnant women. Yesterday I stepped out the backdoor and our ditzy neighbor said hello, then commented that I must be expecting to deliver the baby any day now. I said no, I am not due until October, 3 months from now. She was surprised and then asked HOW MUCH WEIGHT HAVE I GAINED. I let this hang in the air a moment before telling her that I have gained 18 pounds (this is the truth, I was 135 in January, I am now 153), and she was so very surprised that I have gained so little. I waddled as fast as I could off to the studio, pardoning myself as being rather busy.
OK, I am short, and small-boned, so there is not much af anywhere for the baby to go except straight out front. Also, between morning sickness and stomach flu I lost weight in the first trimester. I started showing abruptly and for awhile I was "measuring large" but at this point I am actually right on target. I know Jen wants a picture of me at this stage, maybe later.

Yet again I say, the majority of people are just dumb. I was told at the ER yesterday that I was a big woman with a big pelvis. Yeah, thanks, I wanted to hear that I am big 3 days before my husband comes home!! ARGH!!
