I never thought I’d dislike a word this much. If you don’t already know how much I dislike the word HUGE, well now you know. The other day I briefly mentioned (on fb) about these two girls who I ran into at subway. One of the girls said “Damnnnnnnn, you’re big”. I thought adding the world “damn” was pretty rude but at least they didn’t use the word HUGE. The day before my baby shower, I went to forever 21. I had no idea the baby shower would be the next day (my sister wanted it to be a surprise) but I knew It would be soon so I wanted to have a cute top ready whenever the day would come. Little did I know I would have a BAD shopping experience thanks to “Miss. I love the word HUGE”. When I arrived at the fitting room, the first thing the employee said was “omg, you’re so huge”. I smiled and said, “thanks”. I tried on the first top and came out to see how it looked.
Girl: “You look so cute but omg, you’re so HUGE!”
Me: “ Yeah, I know”
Girl: “Omg, is it a boy or girl”?
Me: “It’s a boy”
Girl: “Omg, he’s going to be a HUGE baby”.
She made me feel like I didn’t belong at forever 21. I might be “HUGE” but excuse me, I still fit into a medium (a little tight, but I fit into it). As much as I say pregnancy is beautiful, it is also not that pretty once you hit 33 weeks. Towards the end of pregnancy, we don’t feel that pretty. I’ll talk for myself because every woman is different. "I" don’t feel as pretty. I’m BIG, tired && I wobble like a penguin when I walk. So what I’m trying to say is, whenever you come across a pregnant woman DON’T use the word HUGE because they might not appreciate it.
Me && my BIG belly.
Love && Babies,
Dani <3
Dani....you're beautiful. And you're NOT huge....people don't se words correctly....not even my sister who had two babies in her was HUGE...huge would be OCTOMOM'S belly...or a morbidly morbidly obese person...those people are insensitive...while I don't think they meant it as offense...insensitivity is a HUGE problem ahhahah
ReplyDeleteHi Daniela! So I kept seeing the links to your blogs on FB and I started reading them and thought they were adorable, nice and entertaining. SO... I decided to join since this looks like a great place to talk about anything people feel... and to keep up with you and baby Mateo! :) I've had tumblr for a while but it's a little confusing. This looks much less complicated!
ReplyDeleteOn another note, don't feel bad! I agree, you aren't huge! I'm surprised you didn't tell her anything! But just enjoy your last weeks as a hot pregnant momma!
