When little women get pregnant

they remind me that I am not little or petite. My neighbor is 15 weeks pregnant and has actually managed to loose weight since getting pregnant. Then we have a friend who is 16 weeks pregnant and so little that kids don't believe her when she tells them she is pregnant. One (she was 5) was even trying to look up her shirt, because she thought I was fibbing her when I told her Mrs. Erin was pregnant. I laughed at the 5 year old because she was used to seeing people like myself pregnant, you know the kind that at 6 weeks look like they are 6 months pregnant!

I remind them they should be grateful that they are so blessed with their figures, because hopefully it will be easy for them to loose their weight when it is over. Meanwhile I will keep running in hopes I will loose my figure.

I had an art teacher that was like that. She was nearly full term and you could barely tell she was pregnant!

I'm sure you look smashing during and after being pregnant! :)
