Belly touching...already???

Posted Monday, December 31, 2007 2:28 PM

Wow.  So we told our extended families over the weekend.  Can I tell you...I knew there would be belly touching LATER in my pregnancy, not NOW.  I got like seven belly touches.  I know I'm showing a little early, but come on people, touching my belly at 2 months pregnant is just a little weird.

And already with the "Oh you feel sick, it will be a boy" - "If you have a girl, you should name it Stephanie" - "I bet you go late, you look like you'll be pregnant longer than 40 weeks."

Whew, it's all a bit overwhelming.  People thought this was an unplanned pregnancy since I wasn't leaping off the tables in excitement or something.  First of all, I've known for almost a month now, and second of all, if I peak in excitement this early, that's a long 7.5 more months to go!  I'm more of a gradual excitement kind of girl with this whole experience, and people are definitely ... interesting.

Hehehee . . . aren't crazy family members fun?  I'm betting that when it all happens for us and we tell MIL, that she'll get mad and hang up on us again or throw a tantrum b/c we didn't tell her before and it's not on her schedule.  :)  I'm hoping that won't be the case, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Oh goodness, I will freak out if people just start touching my belly.  I should keep a fly swatter near me, lol.  I would never, ever touch someone else's belly without their invite.  @__@

It sounds like they are all very excited for you. The next few months will be so crazy for you if they are already touching your belly and giving you "advice".
