Finally a Little Baby Bump!!

It's funny how now that I'm pregnant, when people talk to me, their focus seems to be on my tummy (Or maybe I'm just overly self conscious and think that everyone is staring at my tummy!) But everyone has been anxiously awaiting the arrival of my baby bump, so I am pleased to announce that at 23 weeks...it's here! A little bit anyway! People are so funny about pregnant women, tell me if I'm wrong, but I don't think I'm the only pregnant woman who has had bizarre comments made to her during pregnancy. Seriously, I think people say things to pregnant women that they would never dream of saying to a "regular" person. I've had so many things said to me in the past 5+ months that I've come to the point where I just have to laugh. Really, it's like what are these people thinking! I had one lady tell me a couple weeks ago that I don't look pregnant, I just look like I have gas! Gee, thanks a million! I'd rather look pregnant, thank you very much! I just can't wait until I have a pregnant belly and not a "bloated" one! lol! I know, I know, then I'll wish that I wasn't showing, oh well, what do you do? Such is life! I can tell you one thing, I definitely know she's in there, because she sure likes to move around and kick her momma a lot, and that's what makes it all worth it!

Okay Amber, you look so stinkin beautiful!!!! And believe me- you will hear the CRAZIEST things while you are pregnant. Everybody in the world is an expert on what sex your baby is, how big it's gonna be, and what you should name it. It get's really annoying. Take it with a grain of salt (I don't really know what that means, but I think it applies-haha) and be on your way! You are doing great!

I can't believe that is all you have at 23 WEEKS!!!!! I'm only 15 and I practically have that much of a tummy already!!! Unfortunately I think mine IS gas. And baby #2 shows faster... so they say. You look great.
As for crazy people stories, I had one girl that I worked with who would touch my tummy more than Jeremy would. It drove me nuts. When I finally told her to cool it, she thought I was wierd cause she "wasn't touching me, she was touching the baby"!!! That is seriously what she said. It makes me cringe to think about it. I felt so violated. Ick.

Hey Amber You look great. Is that you new haircut. it looks awsome!
I got a lot of crap when i was pregnant. i worked with 14 women and they all had something to say. Just ignore it and enjoy it. i don't think i started showing until i was 6 months. But i remember hating people saying you don't even look pregnant. That is not what you say to a pregnant women especailly when it is their first.. I remember just wanted to loook pregnant. I loved being pregnant. i miss it. i think that i will probablly be one of those women who have like 12 kids because i just really enjoy being pregnant. i miss feeling them kicking and moving inside you. I can wait to be pregnant again. I am so excited for you guys. Jackson can't wait to meet his true love.

Congrats, we are very happy for you. Just wait, the tummy will come. Enjoy it while it last. The thing i missed the most after Abbie was born, was the feeling of the baby kicking, but then i had her in front of me.
Let us know if you need help with anything!!! See you next week.
