Previously, with #1 and #2, people said, "You don't look x months!" I'd get my mid-pregnancy ultrasound and find out it was a boy, and they'd say, "You don't even look pregnant!" That was always very annoying to me. I was measuring perfectly on track; I just kept the little tyke tucked up inside my lengthy torso. Maybe some people thought it was flattering to say I looked too small, but it felt more like they were denying all the misery I go through in the first trimester. If it was going to cost me so much to be pregnant, then I wanted something to show for it!
This time I look bigger (and I even measure bigger). The rumors even started flying around church when I was only 8 weeks along. Hopefully this is because it's #3, and has nothing to do with the possibility that this is #3 AND #4. We find out tomorrow!
P.S. If I have offended you by telling you that you were showing before you wanted to be showing, I am sincerely sorry. I used to think all women would want to be showing, like me, and have since learned that is not the case. But everyone else must be nuts.
