The downside to when people start noticing youare pregnant: 

It opens the door for many awkward conversations with complete strangers.  Luckily nobody has reached out to touch me yet- I might just kill them.  I can barely stand to sleep in our king size bed with Jason at this point let alone have someone i don’t even know make some comment about how big i am (this morning it was the lady at the gas station “you are walking like you are stuffed with something”) I am pretty sure she would have touched my stomach if she hadn’t been standing behind the counter.  And what am i supposed to say to that anyway?  It hardly seems like the kind of comment you can nod and smile at.

 Last week one of my employees reached out and grabbed my thigh as i was sitting at my desk ” just checking to see if you have edema yet”  Not really a stranger, but weird none the less.
