24w0d - 16w to go!

So today was the first public confirmation I have had that I actually look pregnant.

Let me preface this by saying that last weekend, Scott and I made a trip through Gymboree and the ladies working there knew I was pregnant, but seriously, a "larger-looking" woman in a store that sells baby clothes - that's a rather big giveaway that she's pregnant.

But today's experience was both hilarious and sad at the same time.

McDonalds is doing a promotion today where they are giving away free iced coffee. So, working ten steps from the front door of McD's, and being exhausted from a couple of long weeks, I walked over today to redeem my coupon.

This is how the dialogue went:

McD's manager: "When are you gonna drop that thing?!?!"
Me: (somewhat confused, pointing to belly) "This thing?"
McD's manager: "Yeah!"
Me: "Not until the end of May!"
McD's manager: "OH my God! And you're only having one?!?!"
Me: (chuckling uncomfortably) "Yeah...just one!"
McD's manager: "Ooh, you must be having a girl, you can tell!"
Me: "Yep, it's a girl!"
McD's manager: "She's gonna be a big girl! You better bring her by!"

After that, the cashier gave me my coffee and I left. So, not only was it my first public confirmation of looking pregnant, it was also my first confirmation that I look huge enough to be having multiples!

Ahh. And only four more months to go! *eyeroll*

I found it quite funny, actually, but I'm not so sure I should really be laughing...

I would have not been so nice. That was really rude of them to say. I would call, and ask to speak with the manager of that location and tell him how uncomforatable it made you feel, then call headquarters. lol. COMPLAIN!! lol oh and HOW RUDE
