how to make a pregnant lady smile

compliment her! anything! from her hair looks nice to she looks like she's feeling well. don't lie...but even something like "what a cute top" or "great necklace" will make her day. and fellas, you may feel strange complimenting a pregnant lady but of all times to be able to get away with a compliment! what? you're hotass wife or girlfriend is going to get MAD if you say something nice to a frazzled, frumpy, fat preggo lady? if she's gone through it hopefully she'll understand. and if not...well, hopefully someone she knows has and she'll get it.

this pregnant lady has started expanding as of late. it's like some alarm went off two or three weeks back and each morning i'm not sure what will fit today. it's so strange not going in to your favorite stores, especially with all the cute holiday outfits, because things just won't close around your expanding body. and the thing is, even if you try on a large or extra large it doesn't matter. they aren't made for your rotund belly. they aren't long enough, don't lay right. and yet at this early time of expansion some maternity clothes, especially dresses, hang all wrong. you aren't big ENOUGH. what!?

i say all this to say i've had several nice compliments lately from co-workers, friends, my darling husband (who reminded me Heidi Klum has done this several times----there's nothing to be ashamed of!). and simple little things "you look nice today" or "how have you been? you look great!" go SO far.

we recall those nice things when we're standing in a pile of unsexy stretchy pants in a poorly lit dressing room while the teenager in the room next to us is telling a friend "the small feels too big. will you grab me an extra small?" bitch. i hope you get an STD, er, i mean...all the happiness in the world. :)

besos.
