Do I Make You Nervous?

Apparently being very pregnant makes people curious and nervous.

First, the awkward questions:

• When are you due? {12 days folks, and I was three days late last time}
• Why are you still working and when is your last day? {Is there something else I should be doing? Sitting at my desk is way less strenuous then watching LP or running errands and it causes way less anxiety than sitting home and WAITING}
• What if you go into labor at the office? {First, I will have to figure out if I am really in labor, than I call the Hoos and drive myself to the hospital. Babies don't pop out instantly, you know.}
• Aren't you scared your water is going to break in public? {Only 15% of women have their water break. But anyway, no. It might be embarrassing, but at least I will know for sure I am in labor and not experiencing Braxton Hicks}
• Who is going to watch LP when you go into labor? {Doesn't that sort of depend on when I go into labor? e.g., middle of the night, the morning}
• Do you think you could get any bigger? How much weight have you gained? {No comment}
• Aren't you ready to have the baby already? {I am ready when the baby is ready. I am not going to be miserable and complain because it won't make the baby come any faster. Also, I knew what I was in for when I got pregnant. I am going to have a happy and healthy baby in no time; a lot of people try really hard to have kids, why would I complain when I am going to have a new son or daughter in only a few weeks?}

Then the looks:

• Fear. As in, "OMG. Please do not let her go into labor when she is standing near me. Then I might have to actually do something about it."
• Pity. This look says, "I bet everything hurts and she is miserable. I would be home in bed or on my couch if I was her."
• Horror. "I think she might explode. Is a woman supposed to stick out that far in front?"
