OK, so I've actually never heard that expression before "Holy smack". That is until today when I was sitting in a chair at Ethan's school and a woman walked in, saw me and exclaimed "Holy Smack!" Thankfully I take all of these fine comments in stride and none of them bother me. Thankfully I find them all amusing. I could write a book of the interesting things mostly woman have said to me over the years. I find it interesting that it is women who give these strange comments when they themselves have most assuredly been pregnant at some time and probably didn't love the comments they received.
When I was visiting San Antonio I was in a jewelry store and a woman approached me and told me how cute my belly was, and then proceeded to rub it. Mind you the rubbing was not just once around and then done, but again and again, around and around. It was almost dizzying. Admittedly, I actually don't really mind when people touch my tummy. It's so big and out there I almost don't feel as if it's a part of me anymore. I also don't really enjoy it either. The woman who saw me this morning also asked me if she could "touch it". I found it interesting that she referred to my tummy as an it. I guess I don't know what else you would call it but somehow it made me think I should start a circus side show and charge people to come and see the huge pregnant lady and for an extra charge they could even "touch it".

that picture is classic! and I am amazed at the things that people think its okay to say to pregnant ladies! seriously!!! At least you are a good sport and look so cute!
i'm sure you look so cute! i love that random strangers come up and literally RUB your belly for what seems like an hour! touch it? lol. i'm going to start approaching people and ask if i can "touch it"... that'll get some good looks my way. well, it's a shame people are so stupid sometimes. good thing you can laugh it off!!!
p.s. i've had a cute boyfriend for a month now and so far he's totally normal, no red flags! don't worry, i asked him if he's addicted to porn two weeks in! (figured might as well get that out of the way) lol. AND better yet, he can call it DATING without having a heart attack. he actually says the word DATE and introduces me as his GIRLFRIEND. it's just such a new thing for me... let's face it, i've been HANGING OUT for years now! miracles happen everyday, i'm dating someone. lol. we'll have to plan a phone chat to catch up on details! (wanted you to know, even if it is weird i'm telling you via comments on your blog!)
