First Comment From a Stranger

Yesterday I went to Whole Foods, and as I was checking out, the checker-outer lady asked if I was ready for Thanksgiving. I said, "Hm, I'm not sure." Then the lady said, "I bet you're just hoping you don't have that baby before Thanksgiving!" Or something shocking like that. I don't look anywhere near 9 months ... I think .... will post a picture of me soon ... I've heard this happens, though, people saying, "You CAN'T get any bigger!" I just didn't think it'd happen at 5.5 months.

I've also heard that pregnant ladies get tired of people (strangers) asking them when they're due, etc. I don't think this will bother me. And yet .... I did tell the lady "early next year" (March is "early" in the year, if you're consider the entire year) when she asked when I was due, rather than inviting further comments by saying "a little over 4 months from now." (Although 4 months from now doesn't seem very far away, when I realize WE WILL HAVE A BABY THEN.)

Don't worry, Nikki - at least you're PREGNANT with people asking that. I once had someone on the bus ask me when I was due, and I said, "I'm not pregnant." "Oh, ya already had it, huh?" was his reply. And this is only ONE of my strangers-thinking-I'm-pregnant stories.
