How do you respond...?

I’m currently 35+4 and my husband and I went to a “fancy” farm-to-table restaurant for a date night last night.

Our waitress congratulated me on my pregnancy at one point in the evening, and after asking how far along I was (I did say I only had about a month left), she followed it up with “oh, wow! You look great! I gained 60 lbs when I was pregnant!”

I eventually decided to “justify” my looks by stuttering about losing weight due to morning sickness in my first trimester, and thanked her for the compliment, but I didn’t really know what to say.

I felt uncomfortable and weirdly guilty, because I feel HUGE. This is my third baby and I’ve never gotten close to this big before 🙈 (photo is from last night before dinner)

Anyway, point is: how would you have responded? What would have been the best way to handle it?
