Are you SURE you're only having ONE?

Are you sure you're only having one? July 10, 2009


I flew in to Greenville/Spartanburg, SC (45 minutes from mom's house) on Thursday evening and mom picked me up. We spent a few hours shopping together (which is surprising to you all I'm sure) and then drove home. Friday was spent hanging out and preparing for the shower. I got to see my nephew Jackson a good bit that day, which always makes me smile...



Something that NEVER makes me smile, however, is getting insulted. I was picking up some things from Ingles (a grocery store in the Carolinas) with my sister when this woman came up to me and sweetly said, "When's that baby due?" I smiled back and gently rubbed my belly. I replied, "October 1". She smiled and then looked puzzled. She counted on her fingers, "July, August, September, October." Then she looked at my belly and said, "oh dear, you've still got quite a ways to go! Are you sure you're only having one?"



I was stunned. I almost didn't know what to say. I think I just smiled and said, "yes, that's what they tell me" or something along that line. I was so mortified that I started to cry! Who in their right mind would say such a thing to a pregnant, overly-emotional and obivously large woman!?! I don't get it!!! Grrrrrrrrrr!
