The people at Starbucks see me daily and most of them know me by name (yes, I'm that cool). That's not my point though ;)
Anyway, they see me more than anyone else besides Brooke and Jeff I would assume ... so they notice things like new haircuts, when I'm tired, etc. Today, one of them commented on the fact that I now have the "pregnant waddle". I'm getting comments left and right these days :)
And though I mentioned the comment(s) yesterday too, they aren't really that bad. I think its worse how I feel like I look. I feel bigger, like my babysitter commented yesterday. I'm uncomfortable. I cant sit right anymore. I dont walk right anymore. And its still really early in the pregnancy. I know it got like this with Brooke, but it wasnt until much later!
Last night I went to dinner with a friend and she asked me how I compare size-wise this time to when I was pregnant with Brooke. I said my weight gain was about the same, but that I was a little bigger, but "not much". After I said that to her last night and thought about it more, I think I was wrong. I didnt take measurements or anything, so I dont really know for sure. But I was looking through my blog for the same time period ...
I am due one month later than I was with Brooke. So, if today is July 22, then I was about the same number of weeks around June 22 in 2008. I remember this post (and event) specifically in which I went to get my teeth cleaned and I had to tell the woman I was pregnant and she had commented that I didnt look pregnant, that I merely just looked a little bit heavy :) That was on June 17th and I was 24 weeks along with Brooke. Im about 24.5 weeks along right now ... and there is NO WAY you could look and me and ponder "Is she or isnt she?".
So I think I need to go back in time and re-answer that question from my friend. Um, I think I might be huge compared to where I was with Brooke at this point in time :( Whoops!
