Umm...

Yeah...so today we visited my Mom and Dad's church since there was extra family in town.  I think we've taken Owen there once since he was born.  But while we were visiting after the service, a woman who I've known my whole life seriously came up to me, pointed to my stomach and said "so when is this next one due?"  Ok, I am fully aware that I have a whole whole bunch of extra baby fat that I need to lose, but seriously?  And my response: "ummmm...no baby yet.  Maybe in a few years."  And then she goes, "oh no, I hesitated to ask.  You're sure handling this well"....what the heck am I supposed to say?  Uh, I'm glad I still look pregnant a year after my child was born?  A little word to the wise:  NEVER ask a woman if she is pregnant unless she is either obviously 9 months and about to pop or you know for a fact that she is expecting.  I mean, if there is even a TINY hint of doubt, DON'T DO IT!!!  That's all...I just needed to vent.  Seriously?

Amen to this! I've had someone do the same thing to me, a total stranger, before I even got pregnant with Will!! It's the most akward thing ever and makes you feel like crap.
Thanks for venting, and hopefully people will learn to control their tongues.

I had a lady say the same thing the 1st time I left my 2nd baby while @ the salon. Natalie was 10 weeks old and seriously why total strangers would open their yappers is beyond me.

You are beautiful!... my motto is "consider the source"
