twins vent

Okay, this is a little PSA (public service announcement) for anyone out there who happens to read my blog. If it doesn't apply to you, but you know someone who it might help, please pass it along to that person.
I am pregnant. Pregnant people tend to get large bellies. Some pregnant people get really big, some people not so big. It's all based on genetics and how you are carrying, etc. I have accepted the fact that I am bigger now than I was, and will get bigger still in the next 3 months. I won't say I'm thrilled about it, but it's not something I can help. I know it will be worth it! I know I'm going to have a big baby. I am destined for an 8.5 pounder (at least) if he goes to term. I will be huge. I am 5'3" and short waisted, so there isn't much room for a baby on my frame. I know this.
But, I swear to GOD, if one more person asks me if I am having twins, do not hold me responsible for what happens. I am NOT that freaking big. Granted, there are times I feel like I'm big enough to be carrying twins. And even if I LOOK big enough to be carrying twins, you know I'm not, so don't say crap like that to me. It is unacceptable.
Rule of thumb, don't tell a pregnant woman she looks big, little, miserable, ready to pop, the list goes on and on. We're hormonal, you never know what will happen.
The only acceptable comments are as follows:
You look so happy. You look beautiful. You look cute. You look (insert positive adjective here). (Or is that an adverb? I can't remember.)
I am carrying an extra 15 lbs around, of which 2 1/2 pounds is a child, strapped to my stomach, inside a uterus that is now the size of a basketball. Yes, a basketball. Does my stomach look like a basketall? Yes, it does. That's what is supposed to happen. I have come to terms with it. So should you. And get the hell off my back about how big I am. I can talk about how huge I am all day long if I want. Your response should be "you look great!" Lie if you have to. I DON'T CARE!!! It's either that, or beware the wrath of pregnant Lacy. Cause I'm really starting to get uncomfortable. And it's gonna be a LONG 3 months.

Rant over. Thanks! :)
