Mirror Mirror

I was looking in the mirror the other day...wondering to myself why in the world people (women in particular) say the things they do about other women. According to random women I've met for the FIRST time like to ask me all sorts of questions as to why "I'm so BIG!" Must I explain my answer to them?! No...instead I just tend to keep my mouth shut...BUT I can't keep it shut anymore! It's becoming more and more apparent that women were not brought up the same way I was! Or they just don't care...

Last night my husband & I were at my sister's church participating in the Seder. We had followed my sister to the nursery to get my youngest nephew & niece. I don't remember how we got on the subject, but my sister & I were talking about how far along we were. We said "We're 14 weeks" the lady didn't understand why we were saying it in weeks. So we broke it down for her and said "We're about 3 1/2 months" As soon as I said that, the lady freaked and said "WWWHHHAAAT???? You're 3 1/2 months?! Wow!!" (Basically implying that my stomach was bigger than it probably should be) 

It doesn't bother me that people think I'm bigger than what "I should be", what bothers me is that they don't need to voice their opinions every time I tell them how far along I am. 

So next time you look in the mirror and wonder what you could do to change something about you...don't wonder, because the women who talk bad about you are the ones that are jealous of you! 

Have a wonderful weekend and a Blessed Easter!

14 Weeks!!!

I'm 14 weeks today!! Officially in my 2nd trimester! Baby D has lots going on this week! Baby D can now squint, frown, grimace, pee, and possibly suck his/her thumb! His/her kidneys are producing urine, which he releases into the amniotic fluid around him — a process he'll keep up until birth. Your baby's stretching out. From head to bottom, he/she measures 3 1/2 inches — about the size of a lemon — and he/she weighs 1 1/2 ounces. ♥
 We find out in 6 weeks whether we'll have a baby Chloe or a baby Jayden ;)
