My Kids Mom

So, you know the expression an “unwritten rule”? Well, I’m officially making this a WRITTEN rule, so that everyone can see and hear.

Do NOT, ever, under any circumstance, ask a woman if she is pregnant. Unless she is so pregnant it looks like the baby could fall out at any moment, then maybe, MAYBE it’s ok. And especially, don’t touch her belly. At all. Even if she is pregnant. Being pregnant is not a license to invade a woman’s personal space.

I have always made this rule, only because I’m pretty sure it would be horrifying to ask a woman and have her tell me that she’s not pregnant.

In the past month, I’ve had 3 people flat out ask me if I was pregnant, and 1 person allude to it without asking. Don’t do that either, you may as well just be asking. Seriously people!! I know I carry a little extra weight on my belly, but THREE PEOPLE!! I don’t know if Little Man is just getting to that age where it might be expected that I have another one on the way…. but really, there’s no excuse. So yesterday, when it happened (again!!! ahh!!) I just turned and told the lady “No, I’m just fat”. I hope she felt like CRAP, because I certainly did! My weight has really been up and down and up and down since having Little Man. I played soccer and lost about 10 pounds, and then gained it all back plus about 5 when soccer ended. Then I started running, and lost 5 again, but gained it back over the last month or so when I haven’t been running. Time to get serious I guess, I really don’t want people thinking I’m pregnant all the time. NOT fun!

I think Little Man is officially walking. He is trying more and more everyday and getting better and better. It’s so nice! He is so heavy to cart around all the time.
