For Pete's Sake

So there I was ...
at our community pool, just stepping into the baby pool with Preston and Josh....when suddenly a middle aged woman looks at me with this shocked expression and states, " WOW! You look like you're going to pop anytime now!" whoa what? "Um not for another month or so," I said.
"Well then you're really going to pop then, aren't you!" ahem..... " I feel great," I said matter-of-factly. What this lady was implying was that I am huge. grrrrrr.... I just walked away, hoping this lady got the hint. Something tells me she didn't damnit. Doesn't she realize that women plump up with pregnant?
Why do people have to make stupid comments to me this pregnancy? For the love of God, WHY?! When I was pregnant with Preston, I got nothing but loving, encouraging comments. The funny thing is, I was bigger and gained more weight with him than I am with this baby girl. Yet, I am getting all these ridiculous comments of how huge I am from complete idiotic strangers. Perhaps it's Wisconsin women - who knows. I know not to take all what is said to heart but when multiple strangers are telling me the same thing, it's hard for my self-esteem to not take a beating.
Just over a month to go....then I won't have to be pregnant anymore! wooohooo!
Then the fun of losing this weight begins, oh joy.
