Pregnant is the new skinny.

I read that on a shirt & loved it!!

O.k., so I don't understand why men talk to pregnant women. They almost always say something inappropriate. It is never funny to joke with a pregnant woman about how much she is eating. Never. Ever. Please, write that down, share it with men you know.

Here are some other true, just from this week, examples:

-Any time a guy looks at me, & starts his sentence with "Whoa..." I know whatever else he says is going to be stupid. There are too many of these to list.

-There was a guy at church who was laughing at me as I passed him the offering plate, I asked him what was funny, and he pointed to my belly. I didn't get it, so I said jokingly, "Is that a fat joke?". He said, "not yet". (Still don't get it, but am pretty sure I would be offended if I did)

-Another man at chuch holds his back & waddles when he sees me. I'm not sure why, as I do not waddle in 3 inch heels, but whatever. His wife has been pregnant 3 times, so surely he knows you can't joke with pregnant women. (unless you are married to them, even then...it's risky)

-My sweet dad, and if you know him, you know that he is always putting his foot in his mouth, asks me at the pool, "Do you find that you have more "float" now?" Uh, no dad....my belly has a baby in it...not a big pocket of air.

-And my favorite: I was talking to a couple who are both in their late 60's, and she comments that she didn't know I was pregnant, don't I know how that happens, etc, etc. I politely laughed, and her husband actually said, "Well, I, for one, am just glad you guys are still doing it!" I'm pretty sure I blacked out.

hilarious!!! And apparantly people at your church are all celebrity models because YOU pregnant or not does not constitute any kind of "fat" joke!!! Tell them to come see ME pregnant!!!! HA! Or you can always say, "yeah and you're ugly/stupid/insert adjective of your choice...I can lose the baby weight." HA HA HA!!!!

I looooooove pregnant Jessica!! We have such similar thoughts about men while pregnant. Thankfully, after four pregnancies, my own husband knows to never never ever talk to a pregnant woman.. no pointing, no laughing, no waddling, and NO joking. I can give a seminar in your town if you would like.
