Getting fed up...


... not with being pregnant per se, but with people telling me how big I am. I'm really actually getting a bit paranoid now. Granted, they all tell me that my arms and legs are still slim, and I don't look like I've eaten too many cakes, but there is a lot of surprise when these 'people' learn that I still have about 10 weeks to go. I want to say to them, do you know what I'm carrying in my stomach (along with my stomach, of course, intestines, and the rest)? Today my What to Expecting App tells me that baby is now 3.1 lbs and 17 inches in length. That's a pretty big, small child, in my book. See above for illustrated proof - not to scale, obviously!
I feel like I'm reaching freakish proportions. And I'm sure I'm going to snap the next time someone asks whether I've checked if there are twins in there? Ha ha. Er, no, not not ha ha, that's rather mean actually. My body is going through the most incredible changes and making, what I assume, will be the most gorgeous baby to arrive on this planet, and if it looks a bit big, and if my tummy sticks out a bit further than normal, then it just happens that way. Sorry, rant over.
