Today, while at a family baby shower, my grandfather thought it would be funny to inform me, in front of everyone, that I had gotten fat. I'm 7 months pregnant and the baby shower was for me. FML

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, I dragged my son along with me to a work party because I didn't want him home by himself. Halfway through, he stood up and made an announcement about my pregnancy. I had to explain to all my coworkers and my boss that I'm not pregnant, I'm just fat. FML
Today, at school, one of my students confidently told me that I "wasn't hiding my baby bump very well anymore." I'm not pregnant. Just fat, apparently. FML
Today, my youngest son's teacher surprised me with a box of diapers. Apparently my son told her I was pregnant, but I'm not. I had to explain to her I'm just fat. She apologized and felt awful, and told me to keep the diapers. My children are 5 and 7. FML

Today, I attended my husband's holiday brunch at a company I also used to work for. I was excited to see former coworkers until one raced up, grabbed my belly, and in front of a crowded room, exclaimed, "You're pregnant!" Nope, just older and a bit fatter. FML
Today, a customer greeted me with, "So! When's the baby coming!?" I'm NOT pregnant. I just gain weight in my guts. FML

Today, my grandpa pointed out my slightly larger than usual belly and made fun of it, by comparing it to a kidney bag. I’ve been underweight since I was 13, and when I finally gain weight someone has to make fun of it. FML

Tell him he's old and you're gonna lose a lot of weight in two months, and then he'll be even older.

I thought the same thing, then remembered pregnancy really affects your hormones. She probably overreacted, but it felt “legitimate” at the time. She may hate how she looks with all the baby weight and feel like she gained more than the “normal” amount or something. I’m guessing grandpa struck a nerve. OP - Don’t worry it’s not that big a deal and I hope you feel better. Be excited about your new baby coming soon, and all your family and friends coming to support your growing family! 😄 And on the bright side, you’ll lose tons of weight after the baby comes out, as it’ll literally suck the life out of you, feeding on all the extra calories your body stored for it. Woohoo!

Take his hand and very seriously tell him "Grandpa? I have something to tell you. I'm pregnant. This baby shower we just had... it was for me."
