I Am Sooo Interesting...

My sister informed me that my big, prego belly would elicit a lot of advice from various people I run into.  I did NOT expect my ever-growing belly to turn heads, though..

Here's a few examples...

1)  I was waiting for Joel at church and the pastor's  4 year-old son ran past me.  My belly must have caught his eye because he zoomed back to where I was standing and practically shouted,  "You are pregnant!  I replied, "Yep, I'm having a baby."  He immediately asked "When did it get in there?"  I've never been asked this question, except by my OB.  I thought quickly and answered, "The baby is about 6 months old!"  I'm just glad he didn't ask me HOW it got in there :)

2)  The other pastors son caught a glimpse of me the day before and observed "You are having a baby."  I affirmed his observation.  He wanted to know "when it was going to come out?"  I never knew little boys would be so interested in pregnant people!  I wonder if Joel asked pregnant ladies any funny questions when he was little?

3)  My car mechanic asked me "How I was handling the heat?"  I think this is the question I get asked the most.

4) Whenever I meet new people or run into those I have not seen in a while,  I always notice their eyes darting from my eyes to my stomach.  I can see they are DYING to ask whether I'm pregnant or not.  Ha ha..I know that feeling.
