“No, it’s not twins.”
“Yes, I’m sure.”
“No, I’ve not dropped…I have no stomach muscles.”
“Yes, I WILL make it to my due date…trust me.”
“Yes, I always look like this.”
“No, I will not go into labor here in the checkout line…I’m not even close to my due date.”
“Yes, I know I’m all baby…I birth toddlers.”
“No, I don’t need a cart to carry my belly around.”
“Yes, I can stand up and walk without falling over.”
“No, I’m not overdue…I have until Christmas.” (this began in August?!)
My absolute favorite is when I get up from a table that’s been hiding my belly or when I turn around after having my back to someone…
This is the look I get: 
Hee Hee…The Power of the Belly!

I find it very amusing being pregnant and when people look at me, but not at my face, but my belly 🙂 You do look beautiful, be proud of that belly, there’s a blessing in there!
Lynnette Kraft says

I am going to share your site with a mom I know who is suffering from a loss at the moment. I hope it’s okay, for both.

I, too, am part of the double digit club. You look great! I hate those comments. I know people mean well. It’s just that you get so tired of hearing it over and over again!Hang in there! You’re looking good!
Michele says
Awwww… you look wonderful! My last pregnancy with the twins I would tell someone my due date & they’d kinda look at me, then I’d say “it’s twins” & they actually looked relieved LOL!

LOL about the booth! Actually, the waitress usually takes one look at me and says, “I don’t suppose you want a booth?” Ummm…no.
Fruitful Harvest says
Hey there~I usually birth toddlers too. My last 3 kiddos were over 10#’sNo cute newborn diapers for them…Have you every gone out for dinner and have the waitress take you to a booth? LOL I have and it was not pretty…I was with 2 of my younger children, I sat in the booth and could not get back out..my children were running around WILD. We did end up moving to a table.Peace in Christ,Georgiann

Hi, new to the sight, but as the expectant mother of #8 I feel for you! I love the cart check ladies at Walmart shaking their heads and silently counting as we walk past. I try to smile like I don’t feel just a little offened, but truth tell, I have two special children and five more to add to the excitement all the while carrying the newest model, yet I can promise they are all helpful and more polite than most two children families! So, the next time you pass a large well behaved bunch, or even a small well behaved bunch, take a moment, bless the mom or dad, and compliment the kids. It’s far more encouraging than counting in silent amazement!
