Twins Again?



It's pretty accurate to say that I am not quite feeling attractive these days as every part of me continues to swell, by what seems like,the hour.

I'm over it, in the sense of not taking it personally and feeling bad about myself. Actually, I think I am just too tired all the time to really give it too much thought.

However, in the last week --and I'm really not exaggerating at all (I know I can say that, but really this is accurate) -- 3-5 times a DAY people approach me with some variation of the following:

"Twins again?"

"NO?? NOT twins again? REEAALLY?"

"Due any day now?"

"OCTOBER?? It looks to me like you could go any day now."

Like I said, I don't really think I take it personally. I guess I'm just shocked at what people feel free to blurt out.

This week is back-to-school teacher orientation and that may account for some of the upsurge in stupid comments, but truthfully, many of them have also come from total strangers at places like the mall (yesterday, 2) or the JCC (today, 3).

Really no place is sacred for a large pregnant lady to catch her breath in peace.
