Re: today a lady says to me
Maybe this is just me, but...I don't understand why people get so upset over comments like that.
If someone said that to me when I WASN'T pregnant--then yeah, I'd be pretty p*ssed. But you're pregnant, and that's beautiful!!! Who cares how big you are???
As a matter of fact, the bigger I get, the more I love it!! Let people think I'm having twins if they want, or that I'm due tomorrow--I have a beautiful belly and I'm rockin' it!!!

Re: today a lady says to me
I was placing bets on when I'd get my first "twins" comment and it came just 2 weeks ago from the lady who runs my day care. She has 2 grown kids of her own, is at least 5 inches shorter than me and we probably weigh the same right now... but all my weight is concentrated in front.
Honestly, you can't take it personally. Hard, I know!! But people really don't know how big a typical woman gets in her 9th month (or they don't remember). I got that same comment CONSTANTLY last time around (due any day? no...3 more months, thanks!) and it used to upset me, but being smaller this time - and still big - I've learned that people just don't realize how LARGE a full term pregnant woman can be.
I mean sure, if you're a size 0 and you don't ever indulge and work out all the time during pregnancy than you're most likely not going to be bigger than the average person's expectations. But how many of us fit into that category? I certainly don't!

I just feel so much bigger this time around, I already feel soooooo uncomfortable and like I'm done!! I more upset about how much longer I have (10 weeks) and how much bigger can I possibly get 
today I"m wearing the same shirt I wore the day I went into labor w/ my DS. it's already getting too short !!

I am right there with you on that one. It really is amazing how much more quickly the "expansion" happens the 2nd time around. A lot of my shirts from the last go-around are already getting too short/tight.
But it's all for a good cause, right? 
Try not to let people get to you--I think people just get excited when they see a pregnant woman. I know for a fact that most of them don't mean to offend.
