ok I have one to add. Yesterday I went to the CHP office to have my toddlers car seat and LO on the ways car seat installed yesterday. (Im almost 33 weeks) The first guy to see me walk in says "WHOA! you are ready to pop huh?" I give a fake smile and say not really, I still have a couple of months left." With huge eyes he says "really?" I replied with "yes, REALLY." Then the CHP officer asked me how many car seats I had to install and I said two. As I was walking out the door to my car the man replies with "Oh twins..." some people...

Said under someone's breath as he looked at my (still modest but obvious at this point) belly when my credit card got rejected at the supermarket this weekend.

Um, you (UAV):
1. First of all, who the heck says that to ANYONE?!
2.The credit card issuer was having a computer glitch. Nobody's fault at all. And even if it was, we're not exactly in super-dandy economic times right now and these things happen.
3. Most importantly, WHO SAYS THINGS LIKE THAT?!

This takes the cake! What an awful thing to say. I serve on the Board of a fin. institution and cards get rejected all the time for reasons having nothing to do with available credit - often it's for the consumer's protection. I'm having an issue right now where my cable company is attempting to charge me a returned check fee when the bank says the cable company never presented the check. Mistakes happen all the time.

Back on topic, when I removed my winter shawl to announce my pg at work & show the baby bump I had been covering with big sweaters & blazers, my secretary said, "how did that happen?" I don't know if she was asking about the secret bump coming out of nowhere or something else. Needless to say, I didn't go into the mechanics. Not terrible - but very funny.

lol I got that one with DD... I was due in the beginning of July so most of the winter at work (I worked in a grocery store) I would wear my work hoodie in rather than my work t-shirt...

the first really nice day in March that I took it off... I had a HUGE baby belly! Any customers that had not been tipped off already (usually from asking me if I should be at work since I looked SO sick... with the reassurance that I just had morning sickness) were absolutely shocked.

By the end of April I was already being asked if I shouldn't be home on maternity leave.
