Public Service Announcement: Be nice to the huge pregnant lady!

Alright, I'll be the first to admit that I'm a big fat pregnant lady. I'm 8 months along and wish this baby would come any day. But just because I'm huge doesn't mean I like hearing it. So this post is just to inform you of things that have been said to me in the last week that shouldn't be repeated to any other pregnant woman.
1. Walking down the hall at church a lady says, "Wow, Stephanie, you're as big as a house!"
2. "How much longer do you have?" -friend
"About 5 weeks." -me
"Really! (with shocked face) You're so big I thought you'd be due sooner!"-friend
3. "How you holding up?" -friend at Caden's school
"As good as can be." -me
"That can't be too good since you're so big." -friend
4. "It's so hot out here! I know it's worse for you being pregnant. You look horrible."
5. "When are you due?" -nurse at eye doctor appointment
"November 7th." -me
(shocked sour apple face, then stares at my stomach) "Are you sure they have your due date right?" -nurse

Are you just about to pop, like any second?

Well, I think you look great!! I was a freaking house when I was pregnant with Hunter!!! And yes, people are so retarded with the things they say! I think if you're pregnant and someone says something like that, you should be allowed to criticize them in any way you want. I love you!!!

First of all you look FANTASTIC and I am not just saying that! Do you even have stretch marks?? My gosh! And here's my favorite comment I got when I was pregnant with Isabella. Guy at church says, "Have you had your blood pressure taken lately?" Yes, every week at the doctor's. He says, "Well you might want to get it taken again soon because your face just looks so fat."

Not only was I laughing at what Mel put above but I was in shocked horror at what all those other women were saying. You look amazing and I cannot wait to hear the good news.. (as I am sure you are as well).... (I had to read that out loud to my mom and she couldn't believe they would say such things..). Any luck on names yet?

You look awesome! I can't believe what people can come up with. I've always thought you looked great (especially since I was twice as big as you!) They are better out than in by the way...
