Today I was told I "must be due any day now" and with 15 weeks to go I kind of freaked out...I thought I was big, but not that big!! I am trying to stay positive (because afterall, we are very lucky Mums to be able to have a baby) and in the meantime I am also trying to stay out of the cookie jar - but both are proving quite difficult:) Some come-backs I will have to try!

When I was pregnant with my first child, people would say I looked beautiful (the only truly acceptable comment to someone who is expecting) but with my second all people could seem to get out of their gaping faces was how HUGE I was. I would go home and cry and obsess about it. After I had her I would obsess about the weight that did not budge the entire time I breast fed (grr.) and was consumed by the idea that people were probably still gaping and telling each other how big I was. With my third now, also due in about 12 weeks, I decided I was not going to be miserable and have determined to try to be positive. I am bigger than with my daughter, but have since come up with some great come-backs ("Oh! You look like you've put some pounds on too!" or "When is your baby due?") which I think have sent the message. I also get huge, and was really miserable during my second pregnancy.
