Even though I still had a little more than a month left before my due date, you would have thought that I was about to give birth right then and there, judging by people's looks and comments.
Several people saw me and would say "oh my!" like I was pregnant with triplets. I didn't feel that big and the comments made me feel very self-conscious and no longer "glowing".
When we walked along the strip, people gave me dirty looks, like I shouldn't be enjoying myself and I should be home nesting. Other people gave me a wide berth along the sidewalk. I didn't need it.
Despite the rudeness I encountered, we had a blast in Gatlinburg and it was very nice to get away from home for a few days. We went on a ski lift, a concrete slide and through a maze. I couldn't go on go-karts or some of the other rides and things to do there, but it was still a memorable trip.
Was I really big enough to warrant the rudeness?
