Oh, the weird things people say to pregnant women...

Today is no exception... While at Sam's Club today, Aaron and I were trying out a couch (Okay, I was putting my feet up because I was tired of walking around!) and an older man and his wife walked by. The man shouted to Aaron, "I think that couch is big enough to get her pregnant again!" Now, I have no idea (and don't want to know) what that man meant by that, but more importantly, what possessed him to say something like that??? To a perfect stranger? Just bizarre! And then when we were at the hospital today for yet another OB appointment, we were getting off the elevator and this guy was about to get on - he made the weirdest, shocked face and stared/gawked at my belly. It was so odd - Aaron and I couldn't stop laughing about it, because he just had this look of surprise/horror/terror. For crying out loud, I'm pregnant, not a mutant! :) Strangers are starting to make me feel like a walking circus sideshow.

I also want to make a few shirts to wear. The first will say: "I'm due June 28th. I'm having a boy. We like the name Wyatt." I think I get asked my due date at least 5 times a day now by strangers.
The second shirt will say "Yes, I know I'm pregnant." That one is for the old guy at the dental school who shouted at me, "SOMEBODY's having a BABY!" Yes, I'm aware.

Ahhh!!! It will make great stories for you. I had a friend who got angry at all of us for making comments about her not having the baby yet so we made a pact to be extra good for a couple of days...only to have her burst into tears because no one cared that she was pregnant and still hadn't had the baby! :) Although I am sure you could live without the souch dude or scary paranoid dude!
