Don't take this the wrong way but you've had too many cupcakes!

These two stories are only related by the fact that I am pregnant and obviously gaining weight. (I was under the impression that you are supposed to gain weight in order to sustain a healthy pregnancy but, what do I know.)

I was at a gathering this past weekend when an acquaintance of mine saw me for the first time in a year or so. I was wearing a long dress in which I will admit made me look slightly larger and more pregnant than I actually am. However, to me, this doesn't really matter too much because I am already larger than normal so what's a few extra pounds in a dress really matter. She looks at me and says something like "Sandi, don't take this the wrong way but, you look much bigger than my other friend who is pregnant. She is about 4 weeks behind you. I mean, you can really see your baby bump." First, I would like to point out that this "other friend" is 4 weeks behind me. I was not this large 4 weeks ago either. Crazy how that baby just keeps growing. Second, I don't really think anyone in their right mind would ever say something like that to a regular fat person, so I'm not really sure where they think they can say this to a pregnant woman. Thirdly, if you ever start a sentence with "Don't take this the wrong way but, " then whom ever you are talking to probably doesn't want to hear the end of it. Lastly, I was very polite when I responded to her comment by saying, " Yeah, but did her boobs double in size?"

My lovely european husband and I were laying in bed the other night when I was going over what I had eaten for the day. I usually do this because I am usually hungry by the time I am going to bed and for sadistic reasons, talking about what I already had to eat makes it better. I told Peter I had eaten two mini cupcakes. All of a sudden, he got really iratated with me and started questioning my food choices and whether or not they were the right ones for the baby. I couldn't for the life of my understand why he was so upset. I just kept telling him, I only ate two mini cupcakes. He got even more upset and decides to leave the room. Well, the next night we are sitting on the couch talking about how stupid the argument was when it dawned on him "Two Mini Cupcakes". Yes, that's right. He thought I said "Too Many Cupcakes". He thought I was shoveling nothing but sugar into my body for dinner. So, as I have let him many times before, he claimed "Language Barrier". Except this time, I actually agreed with him!
