small?

Amazingly, I still get comments from people saying that I’m ‘small’, especially when I tell them that I’m carrying twins and am 30 weeks along into my pregnancy. They normally try to justify my ‘smallness’ by saying things like ‘oh, maybe it’s because you have a small body’, or ‘oh, it’s because you’re so petite’. Isn’t it ironic? I’ve never been described as being small or petite before, and now, when I’m the biggest as I’d ever been all my life, people are describing me as that. Maybe I should get pregnant more often, to give people the impression that I’m actually a petite woman – while in actual fact I am, well, you know, definitely NOT that. If only they knew how I’ve struggled all my life looking for that perfect pair of jeans that could hide my big bum or getting into those tight-fitting t-shirts without exposing too much of my huge boobs.

Actually, this is one of the things that I like about being pregnant. I could wear anything and not worry about being called ‘fat’. Haha.
