The scene: Work, at the end of the night after a very busy evening. Back hurts. Legs hurts. Body hurts.
Characters: Me and my male boss.
Boss said, "Hey Wendy, how much have you gained this pregnancy?"
I replied, "About 40 pounds."
Boss said with wide eyes, "WOW, that's a lot!"
I explained, "Well, I never gain a lot until my diabetes comes back. Then it just piles on. I am not worried. The baby weight always comes off. It's just the extra weight that I had beforehand, that needs to go once the baby is here and I am done nursing."
He stated, "Oh you will NEVER lose that with out surgery."
I laughed, "Um, y'know JXX, I used to be really skinny once upon a time, like a size 8."
He further clarified, "Yeah I know. but you'll NEVER be that again with out surgery."
I shook my head, "Really? Thanks."
Yes, I was 30lbs overweight when I got pg this time and I have put on a lot of baby weight. I am in my 3rd trimester and I KNOW a lot of it is bloat cause I can make hand prints in my hands and feet that last. I can't find my neck. I haven't seen my feet. I can't sleep. I feel stinky and leaky and gross. Y'know ladies, that lovely, I am just so lovely feeling - NOT! This is JUST what I wanted to hear at the end of a busy, PIA shift. LOL. Stupid man....
