10 More Weeks


10 more weeks of people asking me if I’m having twins 🤦🏼‍♀️
.
This has happened to me several times, and again today. I really try not to let these things bother me, and today I didn’t get mad, or upset, but as soon as I got in the car I realized I felt completely deflated. Like something is wrong with me and I’m not doing something right.
.
These were women, ringing me up in a store, who were shocked with my size and that I am not close to my due date. They then began asking me about my diet, and basically dissected why I could *possibly* be SO LARGE while pregnant.
.
I get it. I’m huge. This is my second baby and I dealt with this the first time around. And yeah, I know that people don’t realize what they’re saying. But that doesn’t mean that it’s okay.
.
Mamas, let’s try harder to teach our kids to be kind because the adult behavior I witness in public is for the most part, so insane. I can handle it, and I don’t need anyone feeling sorry for me over here - but I know for a fact that there are women out there who take these comments to heart. They truly think they’ve been eating the wrong diet, or that they look the wrong way, and all of this can be SO DAMAGING.
