Ok I am totally at work and completely swamped with no time to make this post, but I just have to...as well as have re-told the story to like 4 different co-workers already.
So, I have this lovely fellow in my office bringing me some missing paperwork. I've known this student for a few years, I'll give it to him that he did graduate last semester so it's been several months since I have seen him. .... He is sitting in front of me and hands me the documents. I stand up and go around him and into the hall to make a copy of it. As I am waiting for the copy to print he tries to make some small talk by saying, "SO WHEN ARE YOU DUE?"!
I think not, my little friend!
I stand there in shock while my one co-worker looks at me in amazement. I was like how do I answer that?! After what seems like eternity I respond, "Uh, I did. 7 weeks ago". :-) He of course felt dumb and I silently vow to start working out every day.
I realize that he hasn't seen me since being pregnant. He knew i was on leave but was clueless to the fact that women go on leave generally AFTER having the baby and not 6 months beforehand. It's a good thing I am a gal who can roll with the punches and not really be bothered by this! This story just rates up there with the student who back in the spring asked me my parents name and then thought I was his childhood babysitter. ha! ....

I am so sorry! I had the same type of thing happen to me. It was a guy who has no clue what someone is supposed to look like pregnant. It's never fun to experience that, no matter how easy you let it roll off your back.
He has just learned an invaluable lesson as a male - NEVER ask that question!!!
I think you look wonderful! He really had no idea what he was talking about.
