Don't touch me belly!

I caved a couple days ago and bought 2 new bras. I was reluctant because I know that I'm probably going to grow out of them before I can even pull the tags off. But I couldn't ignore the fact that I needed more support and my boobs were on the verge of falling out of all my old bras, so I went. I needed to get remeasured, so I went into Victorias Secret and asked the fitting person to measure me. I think she was my age, but I don't know for sure because she had makeup plastered everywhere. She started measuring me and I asked her if they carried maternity bras or bras that provided a lot of support. She replied "Oh my God! Are you expecting? You are so tiny! I never would have guessed." She proceeded to reach out and touch my belly.

This is what was going through my head:

1. Don't touch my F-ing belly. You wouldn't stroke a regular persons belly, so why do you feel compelled to touch the belly of a protective soon-to-be mother?

2. Anyone looks tiny compared to you! So yes, in comparison to you I am tiny. In comparison to my former non-pregnant self, I do NOT look tiny.

I backed away from her hand and just smiled thinking the encounter was over. She then let out a string of questions that makes me feel really sorry and sad for my generation and the younger generations. I will write this next part in question and response format.

Q: So is your boyfriend excited?

A: (1/2 scowl) Yes my HUSBAND is excited.

Q: Was It a surprise?

A: No, It was thoughtfully planned.

Q: Oh, you guys are planners. No surprises for you guys then!

A: No surprises. We are responsible parents and like to think things through.

Seriously? Are so many people having surprise babies without being married that it has become the norm? That is really sad and disgusting.

On another note, I get my blood drawn for the Nuchal Transluceny test tomorrow. It's a less invasive test

to check for birth defect and mental retardation markers. The ultrasound that goes along with it will be done on Dec. 1st. I can't wait to see the baby again. This time It will actually look like a baby! I have another appointment next week with an OB for a checkup. I was hoping they would do an ultrasound then, but I don't think they will. They'll probably just find the heartbeat.

I'm already past 11 weeks now. This pregnancy is flying by and there is still so much to do. Hopefully we can buy my in-law's house soon and get moved in so we can start setting up before I'm the size of a manatee. A fellow Bump poster posted a board she did for her nursery and I love it (pic below). I didn't think I'd be attracted to a modern nursery, but I think this one is amazing. I can't wait to see her finished product.

On a final note, I've felt decent enough to run errands this week. I'm hoping this trend continues.
