Don't lie, you know you've played that game. Well, I feel that I am now at the butt of that game. I've hit the awkward phase. "Wow, Linsey has gained a little weight... or is she pregnant?" Today, secretary says "you're getting a belly, I can see it." Yeah, I know. Thanks for pointing it out (jerk). Some people even have the audacity to say "I knew you were pregnant, you looked like you had gained a little weight." First of all, I had NOT gained weight at the time I told YOU, sir (jerk). I know it's only going to get worse the bigger I get. I've been guilty of it before - I've thought "man that poor girl looks so uncomfortable." Well, that will be me someday, but you don't have to say it out loud.
So you are thinking that I am overly sensitive. OF COURSE I AM! I have raging hormones. I now take back and apologize for any offensive or insensitive thing I have ever said to a pregnant woman. I can't think of anything specific right now (probably because I have prego brain), but I'm sure my big mouth has said something. Don't get me wrong. I understand how amazing this whole thing is and I am enjoying it. It's unfathomable that I can grow a human. I am very blessed. I also know I am beautiful. I'm freaking awesome and so is my husband. I'm just annoyed by other people and their comments. Keep it to yourself. Didn't your mother ever teach you that if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all? Weight comments = not nice.
