ambiguous reactions

it seems that just in the last week, when people ask "when are you due?" or "how much longer do you have?" my answer of about 10 weeks is met with some ambiguous comments.

"wow, you'll never make it until then"
"mmmm, thats interesting"
"crazy"
all followed with a glance towards my belly with raised eyebrows.
what does this mean? yes, i know my belly has grown alot in the last few weeks, but i still feel relatively small in comparison to what i think i will look like as baby v's birthday approaches. i dont feel like i could pop at anytime, but with comments like these, i have to wonder if i look like i could......i am sure all preggos have dealt with these feelings at sometime, but all i know is that when i talk to pregnant people in the future these comments will not be on my list of small talk!
i need to remember though, that i have been really lucky in one department of pregnant life....
i have not had one stranger try to or touch my belly....hope this lucky streak can keep going for another 10 weeks!

As a result of going to a church that haslots of young marrieds, I see more and more pregnant ladies each week, and I think that you are small actually, I thought you would be bigger by now, just from what I have seen, so I wouldn't worry about what people say. I am pretty sure you will make it.
