Speaking of unwanted advice/comments.. sheesh!

Your message cracked me up! My two country aunts chastised me for

taking baths because they said the water could " get up there " and

cause infection. (I had researched baths right after getting PG and

already knew they were fine as long as they weren't too hot.) My

job requires A LOT of walking around through the office and back

into the warehouse/factory area, and sometimes you have to walk

fast, depending on the urgency of the situation. I get told

daily " slow down, momma, don't shake that baby up! " I've been asked

by three separate strangers whether there was " only one baby in

there " because I was " so big " (I have gained a total of 1 pound

since being pregnant and can still wear some of my non-maternity

blouses I wore before I got PG.)

My mom and I were laughing the other day as she recounted people

telling her back in the 50's about reaching causing the cord to wrap

around the baby's neck. I can't believe people still think that's

true.

I guess my one consolation is that no one (at least no one I didn't

WANT to) has tried to come up and touch my belly. I had been told

by people that it would happen. Maybe I just look too mean and

people are afraid I'll snap 'em in half. After all I am a bath-

taking, fast-walking, huge-bellied preggo, right?? LOL!

I work at a police dept so I am really the only girl in there for 12 hours.

I hear that all the time about popping out and why did I lose all the weight

just to go and get pg and then really " screw up " by having twins.\!! I

could not believe that people think I " screwed up " by having twins!!!! I

just went home and cried!
