Only 4 months?

Only four months - I lied to you - I'm not EVEN four months yet.

That was the last thing that ran through my head before writing this blog entry. I was in line at the deli with my administrator and we were talking about how it won't be long before I won't be able to fit in a booth with my belly. She then asked me how far along I was. I have always promised myself that I wouldn't use weeks when talking to someone who had never had a baby, so I'm 15 weeks today and just jumped ahead a little and said "four months."

She looked at me like I had a third eye! "You're ONLY four months? I thought you were like five or five-and-a-half."

Then the cashier had to chime in "only four months? wow!"

Okay, I just said "yep," and moved on, but inside I was like dang, I'm only four months? But there is nothing I can do. I've gained around five pounds, but this uterus just keeps getting bigger and bigger. Am I going to have a large baby or are there twins in there and we haven't found out yet? I don't know, but part of me was feeling a little odd about them all thinking I was further along. The other part of me was thinking there's nothing you can do, you're pregnant...how your body forms is how your body forms. It wasn't worth explaining that I have a short torso and there is nowhere for the baby to go. Oh well. Just another day in the life of a prego. I'll have to always remember how I felt and later on, when I encounter another prego woman, I'll make sure to say "you're four months? you don't look that far along!"

I was going to start posting belly pictures, but maybe I won't! ha ha! No, I will. As soon as I take my four month shot, I'll start posting them.
