29 weeks pregnant and...huge?

There have been many suprises for me as I have passed through some of the joys of pregnancy. Just a few examples:

Morning sickness - not a myth. Not limited to the morning. Not limited to the first trimester.

Stretch marks? - Sure, everywhere except my expanding tummy. Never understood that before pregnancy and I still do not understand that.

Having a moving baby inside can be like having a built-in tickle machine.

One of the more recent suprises for me though is the way people interpret my size. I did not expect so many people to be so willing to comment on how large I am or am not getting. -- That being said, nobody has said anything offensive in the least. I'm simply commenting that I had not expected this.

However, since people DO comment on these things, I would expect some consistency. Again, I am wrong.

Allow me to explain. The other day at work I was with a patient (I work in an optometry office). This patient kindly asked when I was due and when I said "April 2nd" this patient responded with something like "Wow, that's so close and you're still so tiny!"

The NEXT patient again asked me when I was due. Upon finding out, this patient gave a little laugh and said something along the lines of "Oh dear! All the way to April? Where is it going to go?"

So which is it people?! Am I huge? Am I tiny?

Well, I feel huge. But I think that's normal. As far as I've been able to determine, no pregnant girl feels tiny (dainty, lady-like, etc).

Regardless, I'm grateful for all of these suprises. They make life interesting and mean that I've been blessed in a big way.
