Some People...

Some people really just don't understand.

I have been struggling the past few weeks with the increasing amount of comments from people at work about how I look. The majority of the comments are along the lines of, "Wow, six more weeks??" or "Where are you going to put it?" or "You're already so big!" or "You're about to pop!" These comments only bother me because when you're pregnant apparently it's okay for anyone and everyone to comment on your size and weight with no regards to what you want.

Well today was the worst.

While walking in to work, the first person I pass in the hallway makes the comment, "Wow, you're getting fatter."

HOW RUDE!!! I didn't say a word, continued to my desk and then cried my eyes out. I just can't imagine ever telling a woman you're getting fatter. Let alone a pregnant, hormonal and emotional woman trying to make and carry a healthy baby. Some days it's just so hard to be around people that really don't have any filters and feel like they can say whatever they want.

I called Eric and my mom for support cause I was bawling at my desk like a baby. They're both so great at helping me see how stupid people can be and to not let it get to me.

I'm going to try and go on the rest of today and not think about how big I am even though I feel huge. Comments like that day in and day out really don't help. I feel like I've been healthy and look great and my doctors are happy with my progress and weight gain. But these complete strangers obviously think that they know better and feel that they must share their expertise in pregnancy weight gain each time I pass them. Grr!

Thanks, I just needed to vent a little...
