Boobs, butt and a beach ball
Alright…I am going to have to deviate from my normal event topic this week. As I shared in last week’s blog, I am currently expecting my first baby (and by the time this post runs the little bundle will be here)! As I reminisce on these past nine to ten months I wanted to capture the memorable comments I have heard from friends and strangers throughout my pregnancy. These comments have brought me endless smiles and laughs and thankfully, only one offensive cringe. I truly love the kindness, hilarity and sincerity of people – friends and strangers alike.
My Stomach/Weight
Friends
• “You don’t look like you’ve put on much weight.”
• “You are carrying really well.”
• “You are HUGE!”
• “Oh my god, you are ENORMOUS!”
Strangers
• “Have you been to one of those all-you-can-eat chicken places?”
• “You look too tiny to be that far along.”
My Looks
Friends
• “Omg. You are one of those pregnant ladies with no pregnancy weight anywhere else. You look amazing!”
• “You look beautiful.”
• “You really don’t look that pregnant until you start walking!”
• “Oh, look at your poor, swollen feet!”
• “You are getting dangerous looking!”
Strangers
• “Your daughter is going to be beautiful just like you.”
• “You are absolutely stunning. Congratulations.”
My Breasts
Friends
• “Nice boobs.”
• “Your boobs are HUGE!”
• “Have your boobs gotten bigger? They don’t look like normal, Kari.”
• “Your boobs have dropped some. They look softer – not as firm – like they would be more fun to play with.”
My A$$
Friends
• “You’re having a boy. You’re not showing from behind.”
• “You have got to be the skinniest pregnant person ever. You don’t even look pregnant from behind…not that I’m looking.”
And the one Offender…
Upon telling a potential client that I was going on maternity leave, so my schedule would be somewhat limited during that time – “Well, I wouldn’t call that very good service.”
Pass.
Thank you to everyone for the laughs, smiles and support. You have helped make my pregnancy fun and memorable.
xoxo,
Kari
