<p>For the love of God, people...don&#39;t try to guess a pregnant woman&#39;s due date.&#0160; Is it not obvious that no good can come of this?</p>

<p>Almost two months ago a nice cashier at the local supermarket was trying to calm my son down while I punched in my PIN code.&#0160; She told my son, &quot;you&#39;re such a big boy!&#0160; And soon, very, very soon, you will be a big brother.&quot;</p>

<p>I just smiled and tried to give the woman a way out by ignoring her comment.&#0160; But she insisted.&#0160; &quot;When are you due?&quot;, she asked, with a kind smile on her face.</p>

<p>&quot;Not &#39;til April.&quot;</p>

<p>&quot;Oh.&#0160; Wow.&#0160; Here&#39;s a sticker for the boy.&quot;</p>

<p>This happened in late November.</p>

<p>Just last week, the parking attendant at the OB&#39;s office - a large scruffy man who usually takes my money without even the hint of a hello - had a huge grin on his face as I pulled up.&#0160; </p>

<p>&quot;Lemme guess...Don&#39;t tell me...February, right?&#0160; Am I right?&quot;</p>

<p>&quot;Nope.&quot;&#0160; I said as I dug around my purse for my wallet.&#0160; I knew where this was going.&#0160; </p>

<p>&quot;January!&quot;</p>

<p>&quot;April.&quot;</p>

<p>Silence.&#0160; Then he waved me off.&#0160; At least I got free parking.</p>

<p>The irony is that I haven&#39;t gained nearly as much weight as I did with my first.&#0160; But my belly is quite big -- of almost comedic proportions.&#0160; (HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN?)&#0160; I honestly can&#39;t blame these people for assuming I&#39;m due any minute.&#0160; But can&#39;t they keep their mouths shut?</p>

<p>(Don&#39;t ask for belly pictures.&#0160; They&#39;re not coming.&#0160; Nooooooooo.)</p>
