What The?

So today I'm at the Y for my yoga class. This lady I don't know, but have seen at the Y, the school etc. comes up & asks me when I'm due. I tell her October 5th & this is her reaction, "WOW, are you like having twins or something?" I assured her I wasn't & then to add insult to injury she asked me two more times if there was only one baby in there. Apparently I need to work out more than three times a week.

Okay, that happened to me ALL the time and I hated it. One guy at work said, "Are they boys or girls?" And when I told him I wasn't having twins, he said "Oh, someone said you were." He proceeded to ask me the same thing AGAIN a couple of weeks later.

one of evan's relatives remains convinced that the doctors and ultrasound techs are wrong and i'm having twins because my back is fat (she said it more tactfully). apparently her mother gave birth to twins and carried them in her back.

The nerve of some people! A week after I had Elliot (and still looked 4 months pregnant) Farron's grandma exclaimed "I can't believe you lost all that weight!" Before he was born she was sure he was going to be at least 10 lbs!

When I worked for the Nesbit's someone saw Carol in the grocery store and asked her when she was expecting.

looking back at your 20 week picture you posted you don't look that big. but be glad that you are pregnant and it's not afterwards, that would be horrible.

DO NOT TALK TO THIS PERSON AGAIN! i'm sort of kidding..but , i just saw a beautiful perfect picture of you a couple of posts ago and you are NOT big!!! I think the person you talked to has perception ...visual perception issues. I wouldn't trust her. I think you look stunning! So there !

Mindy, Don't feel alone. The summer I was pregnant with Sophia, a lady asked when I was due. I told her November. And her mouth dropped while she blurted out, "Wow! I thought you were going to say tomorrow or something." (Whenever I see your pictures I always am impressed with how good you look.)

People are amazing... and usually the people who are making the comments are pretty clueless about pregnancy. You look great. Don't let anybody convince you otherwise.

I'm suggesting that instead of yoga you take a kickboxing class. Then when that lady comes around again, you just give her a round-house kick to the neck!!! Can someone carrying twins do that, miss!?!!? heh you know, or something less violent....
