I thought that when I got the call on Friday saying that it was going to be over $1,000 to fix my engagement ring, things couldn't get any worse. But today, something even more terrible happened.
In church, during the traditional "hug and howdy" time, a woman came up to me to shake my hand. I had never met her before. She walked up, smiled, extended her hand and said.....
"Are you having a baby??"
Needless to say, after church I cried and cried and cried. Sure, I have put on a couple of pounds in the past 3 or 4 years. But for someone to be so sure that I am WITH CHILD that they would bring it to my attention? A complete STRANGER? While other people are standing around??? In the house of GOD??
I am never wearing this outfit again. Or eating carbs. Or drinking beer. Or wearing shirts or dresses that in any way resemble maternity clothes. Or making eye contact during the "hug and howdy" time. Or leaving my house.
(sigh)

You in NO WAY look pregnant, Jackie!!! That is a horrible woman. I'm sure it's just the cut of the outfit -- I have a bunch like that. Try not to take it personally, you look fantastic :-)
I agree... you in NO WAY look pregnant. Trust the pregnant lady ;-) You are stunningly beautiful.
Jackie,
What a mean old lady! I agree with the other comments...you do NOT look pregnant! You have the glow of a beautiful bride-to-be (and also the relief of a teacher on summer break)!
