Is it wrong of me to feel vaguely annoyed every time someone says something to me to the effect of, "Wow, you don't even LOOK pregnant!"
Well, I am, and I damn well FEEL pregnant. It just strikes me as being kind of like when you have the flu and have been feeling like total ass, and people say things like, "You don't LOOK sick." Like I'm making it up or something.
So yeah, I'm almost 19 weeks and haven't yet ballooned into a whale. So sue me. I still haven't made up all the weight I lost from morning sickness. News flash: Women don't go from not-pregnant to beached whale overnight.
Of course, if I DID "look pregnant," I'm sure people would be saying helpful things like, "Are you sure it isn't twins?" and "Haven't you had that baby by now?" or "You should be careful about gaining so much weight!"
People suck.
