ah, I had the same thing, CC - I think people not used to seeing preggy bellies don't get how much bigger they get!

or maybe they think we're excited about the baby (which we are!) and that they're being positive, by suggesting we're doing a great job of growing our LOs ... ?

but a friend of mine was just congratulated and asked how far along she was, by her brand new neighbours ... but she's not pg at all! uh oh ...

PZ: the earliest I've heard is 6 weeks (but that was a 2nd bubba) and the latest I've heard is 22 weeks.

HTH
