The Public Knows

For a long time, I didn't like going out in public because I was paranoid that people were looking at me and wondering... "Hmmmm, is she pregnant or just chubby?" I would try to wear maternity clothing that really emphasized my stomach even if it wasn't all that big yet. Now that I've really started to show, it's now obvious to the average Joe in public. For example, at church last Sunday... the eldery couple in front of us: While shaking the older man's hand, he looked at my face, looked at my stomach, back at my face, and then smiled. While that would normally be an awkward sort of thing to have happen... it seemed completely normal because, "YES, folks, I'm pregnant!"
