Oh honey!! I started reading this post last night, while packing my car, and keep coming back to it. People get all crazy around pregnant women. I bet they’re all staring at you because you are GLOWING and GORGEOUS! What they’re thinking is “Man, I never looked THAT good when I was pregnant.” And it’s just a cliche that people say when they want to compliment you by saying “You’re not fat or ANYTHING… you’re just ALL BABY.” I think women who have HAD babies, want to touch women who are incubating babies, and for whatever reason, feel it’s okay to touch stranger’s bellies. Just wait until you have a gorgeous little baby and strangers want to touch her… and touch her little FACE with their dirty, germy hands. Get your “back off!” face ready.

It’s crazy, isn’t it?

I still laugh about the belly touch in the freezer section. I could just sense what was going on behind me and then decided to spy in the reflection of the freezer door. I was totally ready to lob that giant tub of generic ice cream down the aisle if I had to!

I know you don’t think my opinion ever counts but I think you are a “beautiful earth momma”

Actually, I agree after seeing your photo, you really are all baby. I bet most of the weight in your hips and stuff is water and not actually, you know, fat. Veronicas last blog post..Dear Nathan

And... I really do not get strangers thinking it's OK to touch a pregnant woman's belly. I didn't even think about touching my own daughters' pregnant bellies until they invited me to. Donna B.s last blog post..Scent Of A Newly Mown Lawn

During my last month and 1/2 with my son, I could not sit up straight — I was carrying him SO high I didn’t need a bra as he was pushing everything way up.

I could not get out of my recliner or my bed without help. I spent as much time standing up as possible as it was really the only position in which I could breathe freely.

He didn’t start dropping until my water broke, so I was completely miserable until his birth.

At least with him, I was compensated with a short and relatively painless labor. The nurses were coming in with pain shots for me (this was the 70s) and I kept telling them to give them to the woman next door who was screaming her head off and keeping me from napping

I wholeheartedly agree about the "oh shit" handle bars for the bed! I feel like I must lob myself off a circus trampoline to get in and out of that thing! What I hate most is the toilet part. I usually sit there for an extra 30 seconds and then get up and decide to sit down for another 30 seconds, then finish and put my pants on, and then start all over again. You know... just to be SURE. lol. Janelles last blog post..What about Liza?
