The last couple of weeks the baby bump has become more "bump" like and less "beer gut" looking prompting some bystanders who used to stay silent to offer their congratulations. It's been fun to share the news with people in a more natural conversation than me having to wave the pregnancy flag when people wonder why I'm off the booze and caffeine or asking waiters about pasteurization and raw meat in the daily special.
As many know I work for a non-profit organization and each day we have tons of clients and volunteers coming through our doors. Last week in conversation with one of our regular volunteers she let me know that she hadn't realized I was pregnant - she thought I was just putting on some holiday weight and figured she'd keep mum. Then this week I got some more congrats from our volunteers and I still finding last weeks conversation entertaining I decided to share the story with them - and low and behold they fessed up that they had thought the same thing! I had to call Brett and share a good laugh - suddenly I began to realize all of the "you can't even tell you are pregnant from the back" comments were pure white lies designed to make me believe I'm a HMTB (Hot Mama To Be).So is this the beginning of the end of the body I once knew? Probably but it's not like I rocked a 6 pack on a daily - or ever - basis before. Besides, I have to admit I love to look down and see proof of our growing baby boy! So bring on the comments, I'm ready for them, but be ready for me - I'm debating having some fun with the next innocent by stander who offers their congrats and fess up to the weight gain rather than the pregnancy...could I be that evil? Hmm, we'll just have to see!
