This weekend at Brooke's cookout, I touched my friend Katie's belly for the first time. I've never reached out and touched her at random, never even asked. I think this freaks out pregnant women, but really, a lot of people feel like they have free rein to touch the belly. It's weird. I mean, if someone is just, ahem, plump, people do not walk around going, "Oh, let me touch your fat belly." No? So, until last Friday night, I resisted. I'm not THAT curious, but there just came a point where I thought, "Everyone else has, why should I miss out?" I did ask and receive permission first. And I know Katie. She really would have told me no if she wanted to. Anyway, Brooke (to whom I owe photography fees) snapped a shot of the occasion. Hey, it was a big deal!

Okay, so now I see why people look alarmed when I tell them I have a month to go.
I'm telling you, it's just the angle. They have no right!
I think it's a good thing that you've never reached out and touched Katie at random, pregnant or not. That's probably why you're still friends!
I think she looks beautiful.
She does :)
