You know you're really pregnant when MEN start noticing...

Today was a first. While I've had women ask me about my pregnancy, I think most men know not to ask questions until they are absolutely positive a woman is carrying a child and hasn't just packed on some pounds. And even if they know for sure, most men aren't going to get involved further than something innocent like, "How are you feeling?"

Which is why it's funny that my boss-- a man-- saw me turn sideways today and said loudly, "Wow! There's no hiding that!" while pointing at my stomach (not that I was trying to hide it anyway). I responded with, "Yup, definitely pregnant. I wasn't lying."

The conversation prompted a male customer standing nearby to begin asking me questions and talking about how awesome pregnancy and birth are (uh, ok...) While I have no problem swapping stories with women, it just felt strange to do it with a guy.

So, what do you think? Does this shirt make me look pregnant?

Can I tell you how funny I think it is that the PH went to take the picture and then said, "Oh, wait" and moved a bit so he could get "more of the pond in the photo." Yeah, because it's not like I was supposed to be the subject or anything. Got to make sure we can see the pond!

Well you look great but that pond needs lots of work especially some plants and such around it Tell PH to get going and make it better view!

I don't think it's the shirt that makes you look pregnant, I think it's the baby who is growing in there that makes you look pregnant. :-)

leave it to my mother to point out your landscaping...

you make a very adorable pregnant lady, as i've said many times before. i had a colleague come up to me and congratulate me... while i'm not perhaps super obviously pregnant, i've definitely made jokes about it ALL THE TIME.
