Yep - I look pregnant!
So - it's really happened, I have a HUGE belly and actually look pregnant. I noticed the other day when I was coming in from the front yard and caught my reflection in the front door. It was a little alarming. Then I traveled to Milwaukee for our company's quarterly meeting. It was obvious that yes I do look pregnant because, well - everyone could tell. And only one person tried to touch my stomach and I was not okay with it, but don't worry ladies and gentlemen, I am still quick and I dodged the touch.
On a hilarious note, one of the books I am reading that offers a bunch of tips on pregnancy gave these two ideas for combating the people who think prodding your stomach is a great idea and not at all inappropriate.
The first is to scream, "OUCH!!!!" at the top of your lungs.
The second is to say,"Do you realize you are touching my uterus?"
Both of them crack me up. For the record, I am a-ok with any of my close friends and family touching my belly. I think it is endearing and I know they are excited just like we are to meet Baby H. Just under 3 months to go!

A book I have found very helpful as we stock up on all of our baby gear is: "Baby Bargains" by: Denise & Alan Fields. I would recommend picking it up if you are in the market for any sort of baby gear.

I promise not to touch your belly!
I do think a strong karate chop and a matching kick might be in order for those who do try.
But Barb, you can touch my belly, I LIKE you!!!!
