Everybody’s touching me
A pregnant woman’s bulging tummy is like a magnet. People flock to it and feel compelled to reach out and rub it as if doing so would bring them good luck. Now I know how the golden Buddha statue in the lobby of the California Hotel feels, his abdomen regularly molested by every passerby in the casino.
I don’t mind that much, really. It’s nice to see people excited about the precious miracle growing inside this pot belly of mine.
In the past couple of weeks, my stomach really made some fantastic progress. I’m visibly pregnant now and five people last week told me on separate occasions that I’m starting to waddle.
It begins.
A 30-something Christian girl, blissfully wedded to her perfect match (the yang to her yin) of 14 years. Living life in Hawaii, less than 5 miles from her hometown, a slave to her mortgage payment, but seeking balance in her pursuit of family, faith, recreation, and rest.
This is awesome news - more evidence of God’s answer to many prayers! And, come on, what woman doesn’t love an excuse to go buy new clothes! If I were there, I would not only rub your belly, but I would talk to it! I’d ask first though!
ahhh, the pregnancy waddle. I remember that! haha! I swore I’d never do it but there’s no other way to walk. And don’t even think about getting up out of a chair like a lady.
Here’s the good news: when you’re “obvious”, people in public restrooms let you go ahead of them cuz they remember.
Enjoy it!
You’d think that most people would at least ask for permission before asking nowadays.
But they never do. I guess it’s ok for those people who don’t mind being touched, but I know a couple friends who just had to stop people from touching their bellies. LOL They said, “no more touching!”
Now see, I wish was there so I could at least ask to touch. *sniff* And I’d talk to my little cousin too. Yeah, basically I’d want to spoil the little one.
And embrace the waddle.
I sure hope you’re taking photos of your baby bump
i bet you look fab as a pregnant lady! i wished i could see. and yes, i agree with Sun, i hope you’re taking photos of your baby bump!
btw, when is your due date officially?
Yay! You’re back. I was getting Champuru.net withdrawls! I’m glad to hear that baby is doing fine and your belly is growing. Can’t wait until she arrives!
Is your heso popping out yet? Are you using a band aid or “nipless” to cover it?
You’re beginning to waddle? This bon dance season should be interesting.
Try putting some headphones on your stomach and playing classical music. Your snowflake will become familiar with the sounds. After she’s born and is having a crying fit, play the same classical music. She’ll settle down.
a pregnant woman waddle?
ADORABLE!!! i can’t rub your belly from here. no good luck!
