Last night, I posted that I thought I had lost some weight, that I was looking better. Well, not good enough.
While MF and I were power walking with our strollers today, this couple stopped us, and the man looked at MF and said, "You did not have that big baby!" Huh? What about me? What about my even bigger baby? I guess it came as no surprise that I could have a large baby.
At least she didn't gush over the compliment. She said, "yep, I did" and gave me a funny look as the couple walked away. She is the greatest and she's not one of those "skinny friends" that I mind having, but today, being with her, hearing that comment, made me feel really, really big.

Posted by: Shannon O. at October 4, 2006 10:56 PMUGH I HATE people who give stupid ass comments like that. Like the chick who asked me if I was expecting. Argh. And my friend Emily constantly gets those comments, ("You are so tiny! I hope I look like YOU after I have a baby! Even at 3 months you looked amazing!") While I'm sitting there rocking my 5 month old and desperatley sucking in. SIgh.

Posted by: Rebecca at October 5, 2006 12:22 PMYou're not big at all Hannah! I think most of the time, we're our "worst" critics. You'll get to where you want to be in time~don't be so hard on yourself! Just focus on that sweet little precious baby girl of yours :)
Posted by: Connie at October 5, 2006 12:25 PMYour beautiful body carried and birthed a gorgeous, healthy baby girl who continues to be nurtured through and by your healthy body. And that baby LOVES and needs you ... what that random man thinks doesn't matter, so try not to let it bother you. I know - easier said than done, but remember, it's not a contest. Don't say you or something you did wasn't good enough. You are more than good enough - look at how much joy you bring Olivia - I see those smiles in her pictures!!!!!!
