D and I were walking along today and I was struck by how huge the breasts on the mannequins are here. I have a frame of reference now as a C...these ladies must have been G or bigger. On a size 4 "body." It was crazy. This guy walking ahead of me saw my amusement, giggled and pointed out another, even bigger mannequin...and then I thought, "I can't believe I'm laughing about mannequin boobs with a stranger."

On a less cheerful note, this woman we passed said, "Congratulations! How far along are you? Seven and a half months?" Um...six and a half.

Now I know that when people ask me how far along I am, and I tell them, their mouths are gaping because they think I'm further along. Great.

Also, we were in the burning sun at brunch at first, because D refused to go inside into the A/C (he is one of those people who will always choose to eat outside, given the option). Finally I told him I was feeling faint (which was true), and we went inside. Now I am worried that E is brain damaged from the sun.

I know better than to share this newest fear with my mother, because she basically told me I'm crazy and I should read a book on anxiety management.

The carrier of the baby always wins in the weather dispute. While you're pregnant, anyway.

I really want to see your belly now. Sorry. :)

I've never seen a well endowed mannequin. Although I am always impressed by the perky nipples. :P

Have a great time in the sun, E will be just fine. And WHY do people think it's okay to guess anything pregnancy related? Idiots. Next thing you know someone will be trying to guess how much weight you've gained. Come on people!!

One thing to remember... it's not you who's big but the baby inside you. And a big baby is a healthy baby.

I've never heard of a baby put in prenatal intensive care because he was big.

Can I make wild guesses about E's name? Maybe I shouldn't... it would be mainaly to amuse myself and tease you.

Poppy - I know, right? I realize a belly shot is probably due, but I'm self-conscious. I'll try to get over it ;)

Rox - Me neither. These were really something! I think a lot of ppl speak without thinking. But yes, they come off as idiots!

BC - you can guess, but you'll probably find it very easy. It's the most obvious one you can think of :)

Ernest! I didn't know you were such an Oscar Wilde fan!
Bearette said…
Yeah, that's it ;) Just kidding.

Silly girls, don't you know she's naming him Ebenezer!

The reason that lady probably thought you were so far along is because the rest of you is so thin. If you were fat all over, like me, nobody would even know you were pregnant. LOL

You're not fat! I think it also has to do with what I'm wearing. Believe it or not, I saw the same lady when I was wearing a different outfit -- she's a hostess, trying to get people to eat at a sidewalk restaurant -- and she asked me if I was 7 months along (shaving half a month off). Thankfully, she is no longer asking ;)
