Dear Observation-Kings & -Queens

No, I'm not about to pop any day now.
No, I don't have nightmares about bursting open at the seams.
No, I'm not having twins.
Yes, my belly is getting quite big - it's quite occupied.
Yes, I'm uncomfortable.
but... it's okay. I'm not miserable (except when I am). I'm excited that we're in November and that there are only 6 weeks left until my due date. I'm really not quite ready yet anyhow. I didn't really feel like I was all that big until [you] mentioned it. In fact, the view from here is sort of cute. I like watching my baby make my belly go this way and then that way. So, for now, please - just say nice things I don't really need to be told about what I look like 3-dimensionally.

So sorry you have to put up with inconsiderate people. I know the feeling. I used to get the same feedback all the times that I was pregnant, and it's not a good feeling. I think you are looking great!

I was appauled with the one person made the comment of twins to you! You handled yourself very well but I didn't like their comment one bit. Sorry Jolene! If only these people would think before they spoke because I believe you look awesome and beautiful!! So keep your spirits up or tell them to keep their rude comments to themselve if they don't have anything nice to say! pheww...
kiss;hug for you
Love, Jill

I've always thought you've carried yourself well! You've been all belly! I remember what you looked like when you HAD the twins and you're far from that. My most 'fond' memory when you pregnant with them is you, propped back in a recliner and not moving much. Pretty sure you're still running around currently. Yup. I know you are :) LIKE A FREAKIN' CHAMP!

Oh and another thing you can say to these people: "What did you do today? Oh? That's it? Well I made a BLADDER!" or something like that...
