Tell me..has this ever happened to you?
Not once, not even only twice but six. Yes 6 times this has happened to me!!
The first time it happened JD and I just moved into our first home. We were both ~21 years old. We were grocery shopping in a nearby town at a Brookshire Brothers. We were paying for the groceries and the teenage cashier says "Aww, are you pregnant!?" I said "NO!!" I was a size 5. I'm 5 feet 7. So no I was not chubby looking nor was I pregnant. I'll never ever forget that day. I huffed and puffed all the way home "How dare she.." Her name was Cinnamon. No joke.
The second time it happened I was wearing a cute little summer dress to work with a sweater on top that matched all cute like. Again a year later from the first incident a co-worker of mine called me over to my desk and whispered "Are you pregnant?" I instantly felt my face get hot and I said "No!" She apologized a ton. I said "Don't worry, when I am I'll tell you." The walk back to my desk felt like a walk of shame. I was thinking "Oh my I must look fat in this dress!" Again same size as the last incident. Maybe a year or less later JD and I did try to get pregnant, it was a success. My co-workers loved telling me how huge I was during that last trimester. That's a whole other rant.
The third time this happened my baby boy was 4 months old. I was a bridesmaid at my Dad's wedding. The dress was made by the bride. My dress was hideous!! Again no joking here. At the dinner table that evening my Uncle looked at me all smug and asked "Are you pregnant?" I gave him the look of death and said "No!" My Grandma got so mad at him! Talk about r-u-d-e! Hello I just had a baby!! The dress I'm wearing makes me look horrible. See for yourself!
Can you see my NORMAL dress size compared to the dress she made for me? All that extra material added pounds not to mention the freakin' sash in a bad spot. Ugh!
That same night a lil girl I've never seen before in my life..brides side of the family I assume..this little girl looks around before she walks up to me dancing with KD on the dance floor and asks "Are you going to have a baby?" I said "No." She runs off like she was TOLD to ask me that..and she was running off to relay the message. As if the night wasn't already horrible that my Dad was marrying Satan. In case you didn't notice those were FAKE smiles above. The entire Valentine's Day and Night was spent in heartache.
My baby boy is 16 months now. I've lost all the baby weight. I even recently moved my belt size one size tighter! My jeans slip off by body they are so loose. I thought I was dressed cutely. A cute black shirt and jeans. My hair was looking fabulous and I was feeling pretty. We needed groceries so I was at the Walmart and I was paying for them. The lady behind the counter..older than my Mom..but wise enough not to be rude..or so I assume. Nope she makes for incident number 5!! She put a bunch of cans in one bag and says "You might want to be careful with that. It's heavy." I look at her a little funny and say "Uh. Ooookay." She goes "Because you're pregnant, right?" I said "Uh. No!" She didn't say a word after that. JD wasn't around he was off at the Redbox with KD renting movies. j was in the cart. Rude Rude Rude woman. You would think a grown woman would know better to never ask another woman that when the chances she's not are I don't know 50/50! I know I'd never ever ever ever ever ask someone that. E.V.E.R!
Tonight was incident number 6. JD and I went out for dinner, kid-free. We went to Rudy's BBQ and the guy says "Soon you'll be asking for 3 plates, huh? You gonna have a lil munchkin soon?" I felt myself blush. Again thinking I look cute since it was a date with my husband..I made myself all cutesy. I said "No, I'm not."
