My family is quick to point out back-handed compliments. You know them when you hear them, they sound like "for a fat girl you don't sweat much" or "you could be a face model". I received one at the CCA this past week; "I just heard that you were pregnant. Congratulations! I thought that you might be pregnant, but I wasn't sure." My response? "Uh... thanks."
I pulled out the maternity fashions this weekend. It feels great to be wearing stretchy shorts at week 9 1/2. It makes me feel really good (and fat).

Mary just saw your count down today...CONGRATULATIONS! How wonderfully exciting! Now, I did notice a little tummy on you and I thought, "Aw, she has the mommy tummy we all have already." Then I'm thinking, "Well, she did have three babies." Now I really know why you have that little tummy...which means you probably don't have that "mommy tummy" most of us have. Maybe #4 will give you that joy? :)
What exciting news! :)
Hi. Just found your blog and I love reading about your family. Is your husband a Pastor? Mine is. We also have 4 children (like you). Keep the great posts coming!
