Now that I'm starting to show more, I catch people staring at my belly all the time. People who know I'm pregnant are fascinated with my growing tum-tum; people who don't know me are starting to give off that "Is she fat or pregnant?" stare. I'm kind of self-conscious about it (since this is the first time in my life that I've been a full-figured lady), but I mostly find it amusing. I haven't had many people want to rub my belly yet, which is good. I don't mind showing people, but I get kind of uncomfortable when people touch it. Maybe when the baby is a little bigger and actually occupies my whole mid-section I'll be more comfortable with people touching me. Right now I feel most of his kicks in my lower abdomen, so when people rub my belly, they're probably not getting much but fat!
Jason and I are going to visit his mom in Tempe, AZ next month. I'm so excited! I know I'll be 6 months pregnant, and flying probably won't be too much fun, but I can't wait to go out there. It'll be nice to get away for a few days before Seth gets here.

Seth? Who's Seth? YOUR SON?
The whole touching/rubbing belly thing creeps me out. I don't get the obsession with it. It seems so personal. lol
But, yay for the trip to Jason's mom's place. And yay for starting to show. :)
Yep - Seth is the baby's name!
And hey - give me access to read your blog!!! I need updates! :-)
