I know that it has been quite a while since I have posted. I will apologize. Yes I have a lot to post to give you all the family updates, but first I must post this after a few rather funny situations.I was feeling pretty good about my pregnant self. I had made it past my half way point and people would still tell me that they had no idea that I was pregnant. I felt big, but was hoping that this was a good sign that I was not going to beat the hugeness I accomplished with Michelle. If you don't think that I got big with Michelle, I delivered at 36 weeks, but was measuring 42-43 weeks. Yes, I was big.
Well recently someone asked me to turn to check out my profile and then asked how much longer I had until my due date. When I told her, she just gave me this really sad look like she felt really sorry for me. I just acted super excited and talked about how I was so happy that this baby was growing so well.
Then more recently someone was making a comment about my cute pregnant belly and I felt really complimented, until, she also asked me how much longer I had and when I told her she started laughing and said, "Wow, you are going to get HUGE!" After getting over the stun from the comment, I said something about how I doubted anything could be more huge than my last pregnant belly that measured post term size. (Also, I think the word HUGE becomes a dirty four letter word when it comes to pregnancy.)
So, yes I am pregnant. And yes, my belly does like to expand to the size of another solar system. I already know that and honestly, I don't care. I love to be pregnant and I love that my belly does expand so well giving my babies all the room they need to grow.
So if anyone out there wants to add any funny things people said or did to them while pregnant, please comment. I am really in need of few good laughs.
(disclaimer: The above picture is not of me. It is just a really funny picture that represents how I feel with our little man practicing Kick Boxing inside of me 24 hours a day.)

Ohh Elizabeth, I'm sorry people are laughing at your belly. At least they aren't asking you if want a kid's menu! ;D
Is that picture of you? I actually gasped when I saw it.. it's soo cool!!
I was only one day away from my due date and some said I didn't look that big. Then I turned to the side and he was like, "Whoa." Which translates to, I'm HUGE and WIDE. You are so tiny, that any belly looks bigger on you. Growing bellies are good things, that means the baby is growing big and strong!
(Sorry, I had to delete my other comment because I wrote part of it wrong.)
About unwelcome things people say while you are pregnant, I usually get kind of the opposite of your comments. Even just weeks before delivery when I am feeling like a small whale people will say things like "You don't look that far along." I feel like saying, "What do you think I look like normally?"
Also, I know I told you this before, but my other least favorite thing people ask is: "Was this planned?" Either answer to that one is a bit personal.
Elizabeth, I think you look awesome. I am one of those people that everyone asks if I'm having twins when I'm not. So when I WAS having twins, you can imagine what I looked like! When I went to my doctors' appts, (the only time I got out), the whole waiting room would go silent and stare! I had to step on the scale backwards, because my belly would hit the bar!
Seriously, is that picture of you? That is a cool picture!
I'm thinking of things in BD and I'm pretty sure you know what I'm talking about without accidentally spoiling for other people. But yeah. And that is one cool picture of the foot!
It's amazing that when it comes to pregnancy, just how rude people can be, intentionally or unitentionally. You should post a picture of your "huge" belly. I really can't picture you getting big as you say you did. I'm sure you're really super cute!!! ;)
Congrats on being pregnant!!
I'm excited for you. I hope everything is going well.
Ahhh, the pregnancy comments. I guess the "pregnancy brain" must be somewhat contageious (it's like a large aura around the pregant woman that people step into when they are neer her), because why would some people say the things they do if they were running on all cylinders?
Elizabeth, have Tory send me an email sometime. It's been a while since we've spoken. jakebrobinson@gmail.com. Hope things are going well for your family. -Jake
Hey Lizz,
I hope that you are doing great. With another baby on the way you'll sure have your hands full. I'm very excited for you. Well hope to hear from you soon.
