My husband was like 10 lbs when he was born...gimme a break!

On this repeat episode of "How Can We Piss Off The Pregnant Woman", our contestants are Dumb and Dumber. Please welcome them!

I know I sound like a broken record but it seems everywhere I go I encounter what I like to call "the less intelligent" folk. I know some maternity clothing isn't as flattering as it could be and I most likely own several pieces, but that isn't really an excuse.

Last week I was again the butt of several "Wow, you're big" comments. One person told me I looked good for being 8 months pregnant. If you don't know how far along I am, please check the above ticker. The other person told me I was big. Flat out. I'm not really sure why people feel the need to say these kinds of things. I know I'm pregnant and I should embrace it. I truly do. However, that doesn't mean I'm not still self conscious of my body. I really just don't think it is appropriate. I am outspoken, loud, to the point and occasionally obnoxious, but never intentionally try to hurt someone's feelings. Especially, about their weight. Oh, and by the way, I've only gained about 10 lbs.

I called my mother to ask her what I should say next time someone so lovingly comments on my size. She was polite and told me a very politically correct response. However, I think I'll go with this one:

This is how I picture that conversation going:

Commenter: "Wow, you are big! How far along are you!?!"
Me: "Wow", you're big, too! And you're not even pregnant!"

We'll see how it goes. I have several months left on this journey so it should be interesting.

Oh, and if you are interested to see how big I actually am, scroll down. There are recent pictures.

And if you ever think you might want to comment on how big I am, please do. But only dish it out, if you can take it!
