Give her a break

Leatha is 34 weeks along, which means she's getting very close to having a baby. 

That said, Cameron walks by and sees Leatha sitting on her ball, working on the computer.

He says, "Wow, mom, that ball must be really strong."


There's nothing like a comment like that to lift your spirits. Here are some others that have made this a special pregnancy for Leatha...

"Are you sure you're not having twins." (comment from a neighbor)
"Are you sure they got the dates right? Well, I guess it is your fifth child."
"Wow, you must really be ready to go."
"You look like you're gonna pop." (Cashier at Aldi's)

I'll give you a break! You look great, Leatha. I got comments like that all the time with my FIRST. The worst was, "Are you having a girl or a boy? B/c they say with boys you carry all in the belly, and with girls you carry all in the back end, but it looks to me like you're doing both." Some people!!

Wow. Poor Leatha. Not sure if you saw this or not, but I thought you would appreciate this video at around the 7 minute mark. Apparently everyone is doing it...

Well, pregnant women just can't win. If you said this was your fifth, then you'd get looks and so on. If you were carrying small, then you get comments like its just not fair, etc. If you are in labor in the elevator on the way up to the delivery floor, but just currently not having a a contraction, then you get comments from very unsympathetic nurses saying you don't look so bad.
I tell all pregnant women they look wonderful, even when they don't feel like it. You're looking great, Leatha!!
