I did it just last week and had a nice save and recovery. Maybe it's not so much learning how not to put foot in mouth, but how to remove it without anyone noticing!

StillLookPregnant [dot] com! I think the best was when during a family photo shoot, the professional photographer asked me to suck my stomach in before he snapped a picture. His wife quickly replied ”Dear, you can’t suck in a baby”.

Tiffany, a saying comes to mind "With "great" friends like that who needs..." you know the rest. <strong>Amy, Alicia, Lisa and Petula,</strong> I'm with you girls. I don't care if the head pops out, I'm keeping eye contact and talking about the weather. <strong>Jenna</strong>- go your dad and so PC for back then. <strong>Betsy</strong>, that takes some serious balls to accuse you of lying. <strong>Karen,</strong> that's when you feel bad for the person who asks. <strong>Pam,</strong> those are some thoughies to get over. I was recently amused that a funny little older man in my neighborhood, who is always taking walks, was wearing a helmet. I pointed it out to a friend and she said, maybe he's been having seizures or passing out. Thanks, one more thing to have major guilt over. <strong>Jenn,</strong> public service or cruel joke? <strong>Jessica and Gretchen,</strong> gotta love the innocence of kids, they can make people do tons of situps.

I was squatting over the toilet doing my thing when she walked over beside me (we were in one of the large handicap stalls) and announced (in the loudest voice possible), "Mommy, your butt is really big!" The restroom was silent for a long moment, and then everyone burst out laughing. http://jessicavitalis.com Stop Pinching Your Sister!

I looked her straight in the eye and said, "I'm not pregnant." Then let her fall all over herself for a minute before adding, "Just kidding." It may seem cruel, but I bet she never asks that again--so really I was saving her from future embarrassment. When I was obviously pregnant with my son, my dental hygienist asked me when I was due.

Wait, is that new information? Don't forget to get the red stripe put back in your hair when you find your next salon, Saffron. Oh yeah, this is never gonna get old...

I've been on both ends of that one...and with 45 months of pregnancy under my belt, it was hard to blame someone for assuming anytime I wore empire style that I was PG AGAIN! But the depths came 3 years ago when my youngest, then 7, asked me if I was going to have a baby after catching a glimpse of me in my undies. I took a good look, and went on a little diet. so think of it this way, maybe you did her a favor and she'll end up being grateful! That is such a big fat bummer.

I guarantee those words shall never pass your lips again, even if you are 110% sure. As you know I am the Queen of foot-in-muth moments and to be perfectly honest, I love that about myself. Do not be so hard on yourself, you made a mistake, and maybe she needed the extra push to take off the extra weight she obviously put on. You are actually this woman's inspiration! SO instead of beating yourself up, pat yourself on the back for a job well done! Love ya, sis. No worries Jenny, these things happen!
