Oh no she di’nt!
So, I was walking across Vanderbilt campus on a lovely spring day earlier this week, heading to see sweet Reed. I felt pretty good, I had purchased a new plum-colored dress and I thought, for once, I was looking like I had a bit less baby belly. Well, things quickly took a turn for the worse when a random stranger who was enjoying her cigarette decided to yell from a good 50 feet away, “You sure look cute pregnant!”
I promptly replied, “Well, I actually already had my baby.”
She then told me “it will go down.”
OMGWTH?
Anyway, Chris got a call from me and tried to decipher the story through my sobs.
I’m over it now, mainly because even though I have some weight left to lose there is no way in hell that I look anything like I did when I was pregnant. I mean, let’s review recent history:
I know that I don’t look anything like this anymore. I am still going to get really serious about getting back in shape — I mean its no fun to have to shoehorn myself into one pair of my old jeans that sort of fit and not be able to fit into much else from my old wardrobe. But, I am determined to not let that crazy woman get me down, and will see her face as I suffer at the gym melting my baby bump into oblivion!

Don’t feel too bad- I got that a year after I had my last baby- on my first day at the BlogHer conference, where I’d mad an extra effort to look good! I’ve learned it’s best to say NOTHING about what looks like a pregnancy until that pregnancy has been personally confirmed!
