Um...thanks.

I never knew what it would be like to have strangers ask you questions about your pregnancy or co-workers comment on your growing belly, or to just have anyone and everyone give their opinions about your body changes.

Here are the comments I have received the past few weeks:

From the account rep at the video production company we use, woman. Hadn't seen me in 2 months:
"Wow...you're looking...round."

From co-worker, male:
"Where did that thing come from!?"

From complete stranger in store, woman:
"You're going to pop my dear."
My response: "I actually have a ways to go..."
"Oh really."

From co-worker, male:
"I saw you waddling in today as my wife was dropping me off for work in our minivan."

From neighbor, woman. You know the one...CN:
"You're looking quite plump these days!"

From co-worker, male:
"With what you're wearing today and your size, you look a lot like (Insert another co-worker's name here) did 3 years ago."
Sidenote: This person was not pregnant 3 years ago.

The more awkward part of these comments/conversations is the way they expect me to respond.

How do you react to something like that?

Um thanks...I know I'm growing, but my body just grew a brain. C'mon. I deserve some kudos.
