I'm sure I'll get an unwelcome ear full from well-intentioned friends and family soon, but right now, here's what I hear day in and day out...

"Oh my goodness! You're so big!" To which I reply, "Uh, thank you?" Then 5 minutes later, someone else comments, "You're just so small." Or "Geez, that baby is really high." Then another "Boy, you've really dropped." And of course my favorite "You're having a boy, aren't you." What does that even mean?! How could anyone possibly know what I'm having without some sort of xray vision? No! I'm having a girl! At least...that's what the Expert in the ultrasound office told me. Although... experts... Well, here's to hoping she really is one!
