"Are you...ummm... having just one baby?!"

Yes, I get comments like this all the time. I obviously live in a very populated area, so it's not like you don't see several pregnant women every day walking around, but for some reason I am like the circus freak of pregnant people. When Phil comes home I always tell him about what this or that person said to me today. I don't think he really ever got it until we were out to dinner the other night. We went to Souplantation (every pregnant woman's dream!). Well I was walking up to the cashier, while Phil was still piling up his salad plate, and she looks at me with the bug eyes popping out of her head as asks "Are you... ummm...having just one baby?!" I politely say no it's twins. All the while, I'm thinking in my head - you're lucky I'm having two, considering how appalled you are at my ginormous belly!

Then I hear the managers talking about how one of their sister had a really big baby, blah blah blah. Well, I eat my salad and it's time to go to the pizza bar! I load up my plate and come back to the table while Phil is still browsing. I am sitting by myself and one of the managers comes up to me (obviously after speaking with the cashier) and asks "Do you know what they are?" I politely tell her it's two boys. She says oh that will be so fun, and I want to say... and two girls wouldn't be? but I don't :) Then she proceeds to ask me when I'm due, along with a few more comments, and finally walks away so I can start eating.

Here are some more favorites that have happened to me lately...

Random stranger - "When are you due?"

Me - "Oh, not until the end of March"

Random stranger - Eyes pop out of their heads like I'm insane

Me - "Don't worry, there are two in here"

Random stranger - (always a different response but here are some of my fav's) "oh God bless you, I mean congratulations." "Oh wow, good luck" "Good luck, I hope you can keep standing!"

While walking out of costco the lady checking receipts yells, no joke, YELLS "Woooooo, you got just one baby or twins in there?!"

Once again, I would LIKE to say, lady, you're lucky I'm having twins! I mean, really could you imagine having one baby and someone saying that to you!? But no, I politely say, I am having twins. She says "Oh wow, good luck to you!"

Anyway, I am only getting bigger so I'm sure I will have plenty more questions, stares and comments before our boys get here! For now I am getting used to the stares.... kind of. Hopefully I can continue being polite and biting my tongue. I've heard the comments don't stop after their born either, instead of me being the circus freak the twins will be.

Here's a pic of me at 31 weeks so you can see how large I am :)
