Why People Stop and Stare...
"No, it's not twins."
"Yes, I'm sure."
"No, I've not dropped...I have no stomach muscles."
"Yes, I WILL make it to my due date...trust me."
"Yes, I always look like this."
"No, I will not go into labor here in the checkout line...I'm not even close to my due date."
"Yes, I know I'm all baby...I birth toddlers."
"No, I don't need a cart to carry my belly around."
"Yes, I can stand up and walk without falling over."
"No, I'm not overdue...I have until Christmas." (this began in August?!)
My absolute favorite is when I get up from a table that's been hiding my belly or when I turn around after having my back to someone...
This is the look I get:

That's very funny, Amy. :) I'm 20 weeks along and quite large already as well.

OMG I love that!! That is HILARIOUS!! Oh do I remember comments like those...why don't people learn the forgotten art of TACT! LOL
Too cute Amy. You look beautiful - even with a humongous belly. HA!!! Sorry, I just couldn't resist teasing. :) You ARE beautiful.
Love,
Lynnette
I find it very amusing being pregnant and when people look at me, but not at my face, but my belly :) You do look beautiful, be proud of that belly, there's a blessing in there!
Hey there~
I usually birth toddlers too. My last 3 kiddos were over 10#'s
No cute newborn diapers for them...
Have you every gone out for dinner and have the waitress take you to a booth? LOL
I have and it was not pretty...I was with 2 of my younger children, I sat in the booth and could not get back out..my children were running around WILD. We did end up moving to a table.
Peace in Christ,
Georgiann
LOL about the booth! Actually, the waitress usually takes one look at me and says, "I don't suppose you want a booth?" Ummm...no.
Awwww... you look wonderful! My last pregnancy with the twins I would tell someone my due date & they'd kinda look at me, then I'd say "it's twins" & they actually looked relieved LOL!
I, too, am part of the double digit club. You look great! I hate those comments. I know people mean well. It's just that you get so tired of hearing it over and over again!
Hang in there! You're looking good!
I am going to share your site with a mom I know who is suffering from a loss at the moment. I hope it's okay, for both.
