So far once, only once throughout my pregnancy has anyone commented on how BIG the belly looked. It was a blow
to my confidence, but I tried to take it in stride seeing as I am doing the
best I can with exercise and food and oh you know…working full time and
commuting and remodeling all while keeping track of 3 dogs, a horse, my husband
and my sanity.

But today, I got a really nice compliment. I got to tell a stranger I was expecting and
she asked if it I knew if it was a boy or a girl yet. No sooner than the words were out of her
mouth did she say…
“Nevermind, it’s so early on for you, you probably don’t
know yet!”.
I thanked her for the BEST compliment ever…telling me {indirectly?} that I looked SMALL!
 |
| Why thank you for acknowledging my tininess today! |
I then told her we’ve known for about a month that it’s a
boy and that I’m 24 weeks along.

| It's all so confusing! Month 6, Week 24, 2nd Trimester |
Advice...for your own health and well being, let alone the mother's self esteem, never use the words BIG, HUGE, LARGE, TWINS (unless you know for sure she's having them), or any other word synonymous with ENORMOUS around a pregnant lady. This includes prego to prego too!
