Someone Finally Noticed

I have told many people now that I am pregnant. In response, I often get some kind of response indicating that I don't look pregnant. Really people!? I really don't like to hear that. I understand that I am not huge and I think they feel like it is a compliment, but it is not. I used to have a small waistline. I no longer have a small waistline. I completely understand how a stranger might not be able to tell that I am pregnant, but people I see on a regular basis I really feel should be able to tell a difference. Of course, those closest to me are the ones I told first so they have seen me grow.

Anyways, that soap box was all to say that someone finally noticed that I was pregnant!!! It was an aide in a classroom and she looked at me when I was walking out of the classroom with one of my kids and said "Is that a baby bump?" I was so excited. I said, "Yes it is! Thank you for noticing." Then she proceeded to tell me that she knew it had to be since I normally have such a small waist. Thank you! She sure knows how to make a pregnant woman feel good:D

For anyone interested, I attempted to take a picture of myself today since I was wearing clothes that I felt showed my belly. I apologize for the quality. Here you go...

Congrats Marna Jane!!! How exiciting for you & Zach! You do look wonderful - enjoy your pregnancy...it goes by quickly (even though it seem to creep by at the end), but it is a lot easier to take care of that baby while they're still inside of you :-) And maybe people are just being tactful NOT to ask at this point. Sometimes people will also very rude things when you're pregnant... I got asked if I was having twins at the end of my pregnancy with Shepherd... he did end up being almost 11 lbs, so I guess I was that big, though no woman wants to hear that :-) - Kim
