Twins!?!?

17 weeks

Not the greatest picture of me...but oh well! So, I guess this is what someone must look like who is pregnant with twins (a lady told me so today). Every pregnancy I have had, someone makes that comment to me. Although, I'm pretty sure this is the earliest that anyone has actually asked me that. I really don't get the nerve of complete strangers. It seriously blows my mind!

So, here's the story... I was roaming around in Goodwill today and I happened to be browsing in the maternity/plus size aisle (I'm totally not sure why they combine the two). I was approached by an older lady browsing through the racks and she started making casual conversation with me. It went something like this:

Lady: "So, when is your baby due?"

Me: "Oh, not until May."

L: "May!?!?!? Wow!!! Have you had an ultrasound yet?"

M: "Yes, I have..."

L: "And they didn't see two babies in there? Wow, I can't believe you are not due until May?"

Wow! Do people not realize how incredibly rude they can come off?  NEVER ask someone if they are pregnant with twins. It never comes off well, I promise!!

For your enjoyment here are some other things (which people have actually asked me before) that you shouldn't say to a pregnant person..

"Wow! You look miserable!"

"Are you sure they don't have your due date wrong?"

****And my personal favorite****

"When was your baby due, yesterday?"

In other awesome news, yesterday at my Dr's appointment he came in and started blasting me about my weight. As soon as he walked into the room he starts yelling at me about it. I was kind of shocked and told him that it wasn't THAT bad. He then told me that my weight is a serious issue and that I was over my BMI before I was even pregnant. Okay, HOLD ON! I tell him no way, I've never been above my BMI. So then he whips out his fancy little PDA and shows me that at 57" and at my pre-pregnancy weight I was over my BMI. "What???" I exclaimed, "57 inches, I am 5'7" there are 12 inches in a foot- I am NOT 57" tall." We went back and forth for a minute until he realized he was wrong and apologized. He said, "Oh, I guess you're still under your BMI at your current pregnancy weight." Ha, ha! It felt good to be right! Just FYI 57" is 4' 9" almost a foot shorter than my height.

 I think I am ready for a break (at least) from people talking about my weight or claiming that I look like some enormous pregnant monster
