It's official. My bump is actually bumpin' now. Last week I was asked by a stranger when I was due. I know that's supposed to be a taboo question to people with questionable bump sizes, but I had been feeling fat and bloaty and distinctly non-beautiful all day, so that question really turned my day around. Bless you, sweet old lady at Hobby Lobby. Then two more people asked the next day, and one of my husband's old mission buddies asked Sam at the gym last night (it was hilarious. He didn't want to imply anything in case he was wrong, so he kept beating around the bush. We let him go on for a little while, just to see him get more and more uncomfortable...).
Side note: all the lunch ladies at my school know I'm pregnant, and they're cute about it. I never talked to the lunch ladies last year, but now they tell me funny pregnancy anecdotes almost every day. Best of all, they scoop me extra food :) Food is kind of the quickest way to my heart these days. I'm always telling Sam exactly what I'm going to eat when I get home. In fact, sometimes when I wake up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, I check my phone so I know how many more hours until I get to eat breakfast ("yes, breakfast in three hours!").
PS a big thanks to Bonnie for taking these pictures! I love our little photo session last weekend, and I loved our long chat afterwards.
