Yesterday I overheard Michael talking on the phone to his grandmother in Florida. The conversation went something like this: "Oh she's doing fine, feeling good, getting really bulbous." This is the same grandmother that has serious weight issues...may even have an eating disorder. The one that came up to me at a crowded family gathering when I was pregnant with Lucas, made a "fat face" by puffing out her cheeks and then asked "Amanda, how much weight have you gained?" This is the one that Mike told I was getting huge. Great.A man at church came up to me a couple weeks ago and asked if I was due really soon. "Actually, I am just halfway there," was my rather embarrassed reply. "Wow, how much bigger will you get?!" he exclaimed amusedly. I was not humored.
Why is it that some people feel at liberty to say anything that they think to a pregnant woman about her size? Don't they realize that a pregnant woman has enough of a complex about her expanding body on her own without any unsolicited rude comments. Keep your big fat trap shut or one might get ticked off and sit on you!
