Mad or Sad?

Last night, when I went to pick up some dinner at the Thai restaurant down the street:

Lisa: Hi. I'm hear to pick up an order for Avent.
Mean Thai Lady: Ah, yes, here you are. That will be $35.75.
(Lisa hands debit card to Mean Thai Lady)
Mean Thai Lady: So, are you pregnant?
**sound of crickets**
Lisa: No. I just had a baby.
Mean Thai Lady: Oh. Sorry.

I don't know how to feel about this. Obviously there is a part of me that is a little sad that I still look pregnant enough for someone to ask if I was, even though I've lost 30 pounds in the past 4 weeks. Admittedly, I probably gained a little too much weight, and the last 15 pounds are going to be hard to lose, and I know my body will never be the same regardless. BUT STILL....

What the hell? I am still in a smaller size (by far) than the average American women (though I suppose that is a bit too large, not only by Mean Thai Lady standards), and I know LOTS of girls with tummies bigger than my seemingly still pregnant one.

Maybe I'm overreacting - it could be hormones or the fact that I got two hours of sleep last night. Literally, two. Hopefully the prescription we got this morning for baby Zantac will help.
