Things a pregnant lady does not want to hear

"Are you sure you're going to be able to deliver vaginally?!"
My dad made this comment to me yesterday, alluding to my growing belly.
Well, I hope so. I hope that my belly size is not a sign of O's width, but her height and that she just has her dad's height genes. (this is a picture of my growing belly...almost 37 weeks! I am nearing the end of pre-term pregnancy)
Today, I am going through all of the baby clothes I have received as gifts or hand-me-downs. Separating them by size: 0-3, 3-6, 6+ months all the way to 18 months. I can't believe I already have toddler clothes, but grandma is taking advantage of the clearance sales at Carson's and I am not one to stop her. It's all precious to me. I am washing all of the 0-3 month stuff in preparation for O. I actually am looking forward to folding and putting it away. Admiring each little onesie and picturing my baby in it.
Right now, John is at daddy bootcamp, and I love him for it. I am sure most men would cringe at the thought of going to this, but he only complained that I didn't tell him about it sooner. Apparently I thought I sent him the appointment in Outlook, and I didn't, so he learned about it last night when I mentioned it was the next day. Right now, he is supposedly learning how to change a diaper and bonding with other soon-to-be or new dads. (you get to go back with your newborn for a refresher course for free.)
This has not much to do with pregnancy or babies, but we got a new bread machine recently. The free one I got from my brother-in-law's mother baked it's last loaf recently and I had to get a replacement ASAP. Anyway, I am still trying to figure out how to get the bread right after two tries. The first loaf didn't rise well, and my second, well, you tell me. I think even my bread is commenting on my growing belly:
