He'll Figure It Out ... I Hope

Alright so as you know and if you're new I've recently discovered that I'm pregnant. And with that comes loads of confusion and panic. Because it's so early on yet, most of this panic and confusion belongs mainly to me. My boyfriend is the 'let's deal with it when the time comes' sort, which drives me completely batty when dealing with something as serious as this.

But anyway I'm straying from the point. I'm about 6 weeks along. Well this past weekend we went to his mother's for a visit. There was a big fish fry and he was able to tell much of his family in person the news. Anyways he decided to tell them while I was in the house (I spend a lot of time in the restroom these days already. It's a little ridiculous.) I come out and he tells me he's just announced it to everyone and I receive the typical congratulatory comments from the lot of them. Well later on a couple of the women that had just recently had their newest little ones start asking me questions. The first obviously being how far along am I. After I tell them they look at one another in confusion and one says, "Cory said you were due to have it in like 6 months."

I just laughed and said, "He's an idiot. He has no idea what he's talking about."

The two burst into laughter with me and I told myself I should probably explain a few things to him. Now writing about it I realize that I still have yet to correct him, even though I told him my estimated due date was early February. He doesn't listen very well though.

Have you had a similar experience?

It's a really good thing I have a good sense of humor and so far pregnancy hasn't taken that away. Yesterday my boyfriend and I were at my parent's house hanging out. My mom, sister and I are submerged in a a conversation while the two men talk a few feet away. All I hear is, "the size of a blimp." I find myself yelling, "You better not be calling me a blimp!" Of course they were talking about future me and having quite the fun imagining how entertaining that's going to be. Anyway we go to dinner later and I decided I wanted a gyro with fries and hashbrowns. At first I was joking but then discovered I really did want that and looked at everyone and threw my hands up. "I AM going to be a blimp!"

My dreams of a flat stomach in a bikini have gone out the window for now. I get something better instead!

So I've heard it gets really sickening people commenting on your size while pregnant. Did it get to you? Leave a comment with some of your experiences. I'd love to read them.


Til next time,
