Size DOES matter!

I'm big. People don't even pretend to not notice this belly. People come up to me like we've been friends for years, asking me about the baby. People are always helping me carry things, offering me seats, letting me get in front of them in the restroom line! In some ways, pregnancy is great! I've never gotten so much attention.
Boy I sure can't wait to see what happens to my big belly when little baby is in my arms. Does it just turn soft and mushy? What about those abdominal muscles that were so rudely shoved aside? What's it going to feel like with my new-found void, with no little feet to poke me in the ribs?

I've been walking every day. Today I walked long, hard and fast. The weather is gorgeous and me and this belly went cruising through the park, ignoring all of the belly glances, blasting the walkman. I even passed people today; I had so much darn energy.

But still I'm here and I feel no different. I know she's coming, but she's going to get LOTS of walks in the meantime to try to speed the process along.

It gets soft and mushy! The thing you miss the most is the attention, it is so weird once you have the baby you get NO attention. It is all for the baby! It only makes you a little sad.:(
