Woe is Me!

I feel as far as the pregnancy thing goes I have been pretty easy going. I have only wanted to sell Cookie Monsters soul once for a brownie and had one major breakdown due to my inability to to grab tupperware from a bottom cabnet. This week has proved to be different. I have with mild effort tried to stay healthy during the pregnancy by cramming veggies and whole grains down my gulllet intsead of the cup cakes and BBQ I crave. I have also swam 3 times a week before my swim lessons in an effort to get some exercise. This Monday after doing my usual marathon hour swim and was mostly done doing the 2 hours of private lessons an old lady in the lane next to me grabbed my attention and asked a harmless little question about the Butterfly I answered it quickly and returned to teaching. The lady then Pipes up with " You know dear I was watching you when you were on the deck doing dives and you really would have a darling figure if you lost some weight". What news I thought! I wish I would have known this in Jr. High what a totally different life I might have led. I of course having a 7 year old little girl with in ear shot held back on what I thought might improve her faults and instead informed her that I was over 6 months pregnant and have done a very good job at maintaining healthy wieght gain. Instead of congradualting me and then making a quick exit she then decides it would be prudent to add that I still have to be very carefull because the last months are when you gain the most weight! Oh, the indignation!!! I would feel more sorry for myself but she has given me a good story. I have heard some good comebacks when I shared this story with my sisters and friends. Cincha said I should have told her that how you do Butterfly was by tying a heavy wieght to your feet and then stop breathing. she also suggested that I break into tears and say that I was doing the best that I COULD! My good friend Linda thought I should have said " ohh I didn't know that after you hit old age you could act so childish". I would love to hear your thoughts if you have anything to add
