What NOT to say to a pregnant lady...

These are all direct quotes from this pregnancy...and to think I have 14 more weeks to go...

As I lovingly rub my belly and comment that the baby is getting bigger, my son says to me, "Or maybe that's because you haven't been going to the gym enough!"

The grocery store cashier questions when my baby is due and then after I answer she looks down at my round mid-section then back up at me and asks in a serious tone, "Are you sure there aren't twins in there?"

Boy says as matter-of-fact, "Mom, I think your stomach grows one inch a day."  Then, after glancing again, "Or maybe one AND A HALF inches a day!"

"Mom, are you a grandma?" inquired boy #2.

Youngest son, standing behind me, states, "Mom, I know why your bottom is so big.  It's because you have a baby in your tummy!"

After getting ready for bed one night I sarcastically told my husband that he was going to love my new, sexy pajamas (one of his t-shirts and a pair of flannel pajama pants). He looked over at me and commented, "Oh, my Hokie Bird shirt?"  Then with a smile on his face, "You look like the Hokie Bird!"

...but feeling those sweet little kicks from within makes it all worth it. Praising God for the miracle of pregnancy!
