Are You Having a Bird?

Perfect example of the "my, your belly is so small" phenomenon occurred today. Had my first alterations appointment for the bridesmaid dress I am wearing in Jen's wedding (now 3 1/2 weeks away). I wanted to verify with the seamstress that she'd been informed of my current state and was planning accordingly. She said she had not, but proceeded to congratulate me and ask how far along I am. "I'm in the middle of month 6 right now, will be a week into month 7 at the wedding", I replied. Her eyes got large, she leaned over for a closer, profile-view inspection of my belly and said incredulously, "Are you having a bird?"

I have to just laugh. It's the most creative "you aren't very big" comment I've had so far, that's for sure!
