Oh that is really too funny!! I mean, seriously, people have like no clue when they ask those sorts of questions. Really, do they think that you are going to just pop in church? With DD1 (my second baby, who was 16 days late), I stopped answering the phone and going to church, because I got tired of that question "oh, you're still pregnant?". Like maybe, just perhaps, I did have the baby, but forgot to tell you, and went out with a pillow stuffed under my shirt because I missed being pregnant. Oh, and left the baby alone with our wonderful babysitter the cat. Not really very likely when you stop and think about it.

My other favorite question is "so, how are you feeling?" Well, TBH, I feel really huge, sort of like a beached whale, and rather short-tempered, and just not very graceful about dumb questions. A better question might be, "so, how can I make your life easier right now?", but no one ever asks hugely pregnant women that, for some reason.

I am soooooooo with you on this one! My dh asks me how I am ....my answer...well how would you be with a large bowling ball bouncing around your insides abusing every organ within and squeezing them to insanely small proportions? I know he means well, but......

I even semi-playfully hit a couple of my more closer aquaintances/friends (again, loss of grace) to reinforce the point. Then, I go home and post on my Facebook account (which many many of them will see) that it would not be even a medically interesting question to ask me if I was still pregnant until April, and even then it is a dumb question to ask with large protrusion of belly plainly in view.
the bolded. when i was pg with ds and I was at my local WIC office the ladies first question was "are you still pregnant?" I look down at my huge belly (measuring 42 weeks) and I said "I sure hope so, otherwise I dont know what this could be"...seriously?

yeahh....

Someone recently asked me when I was due (March 30) and yet they still thought to give me advice on how to get her out. They said, "Mow the lawn! Trust me on this..."
