People Respond to Bellies

I can tell that it's become very noticeable that I'm expecting now. I mean sure I knew it before and could tell the difference in my body, and most of the people that see me daily can too.  It's the other people though, the ones that that realize that all of a sudden I've changed and don't quite know what to say. 
It's been comical to say the least.

I don't want to name any names, or make anyone feel bad, because really it's all happy & fun around here.

Person A: Whoah! Look at You! (pointing at my stomach)
Me:  Oh yea, thanks, 
Person B:  Oh my gosh, I shouldn't have said that. I'm so sorry I said that.-That was so wrong.-I know better.-It's just that I hadn't realized or paid attention before.-I'm so sorry.-but it's great.-you look great. really.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Me: Oh hi there! Haven't seen you in a while! How are ya?
Person B: Guess Not! What happened to you?
Me:  Alien got me. Crazy freak accident.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Person C: So you're getting fat huh?
Me:  Yup just getting fat.  Really enjoying all the stuff that's really bad for me.
Person C:  Oh gosh, I know your pregnant, I asked __________. I didn't want to say something and then you not be pregnant. 
(So glad you asked someone else first! I really can't imagine how badly the conversation would have started if you hadn't double checked first!)

There are definitely others, but I think I'll save them for another day. 
Hope you're having a great weekend!
