Under 100 days! And things you should never say to a pregnant lady

For some reason, I have been looking forward to the milestone of being under 100 days to go in the pregnancy. FINALLY, I am here. It feels fabulous! I am so excited to meet our son! Feel free to remind me every time you see me that I am almost there.

Don't, however, feel free to tell me I am "so huge" or "out there" or insist that I must be having twins. I was warned at the beginning of the pregnancy that I would get these comments, but I guess I just didn't believe it. But, oh yes, now I get them. One person even asked my due date and responded in disbelief, "December 6???!!!! Are you sure there aren't two in there?" It was way too early in the morning for me (and I was really wanting a cup of coffee), so instead of saying something I would completely regret, I responded only somewhat offensively with: "that's not a very nice thing to say." She went on to explain that my due date must be off. Wow. This definitely goes in the file: what not to say to a pregnant woman.

And for the record, my doctor says I am right on track for weight gain. Just to make myself feel better, I watched 4 episodes of A Baby Story that night and remarked to myself how much smaller I am than all of those ladies (:
