BIG news

The key word here is BIG.

I am at work today. Michele is the main pharmacist here. I usually only work here one day a week, so not all the customers know me. I am helping a man. He asks me where Michele is. I told him I gave her a day off. He asked me my name, and was very polite. He then asks me how far along I am. I am a bit puzzled. I get a lot of customers that comment on how young I am and ask how long I have been out of school. So I ask him, "You mean, how long have I been out of school?" He says no, pointed at my belly, and says, "aren't you with..."

Okay, so yes, I am pregnant. Tomorrow I will be 9 weeks. Nine weeks, and some stranger can already tell I am pregnant! Granted, I am wearing a shirt that pouches a bit in the tummy, but still, there is enough of a pouch that a COMPLETE STRANGER has the guts to ask me about it, and acts like it is a given.

We were planning on announcing this soon, but I figured I better get it out there since it is COMPLETELY OBVIOUS anyway.
Really though, most people we talk to on a regular basis already know. With four people in our house that are all extremely EXCITED, we haven't done a good job keeping quiet. By the time I was 5 weeks along we had already purchased a crib, stroller/carseat combo, and high chair. I'd say we are pretty excited.

The baby is due in March.

To those of you who have tiny tummies, to those who are further along, but I will soon catch up to then surpass in size-- I will try not to be bitter. Just please be considerate of the fact the I am the ONLY one that can make comments about how HUGE I am.
