When strangers notice...

I hit a pretty major landmark with my belly yesterday. I returned last night from a brief business trip to Irvine, California (left Friday morning) and had 2 strangers yesterday make comments about me being pregnant. The first lady apologized that I had to keep standing up and sitting down to grab the necessary paperwork. I was puzzled at first and she motioned to her belly and I realized that she could tell! Oddly enough, I had no idea what to say! I blubbered something about having two babies in there (as if she knew I was only 19 weeks) and changed the subject.

The second, the rental car return lady. I told her that I had a lot of food wrappers in the passenger door and she said, "well, you are eating for two." Again, I had to say, "well, it's actually three!" It makes me feel better to say there is more than one baby in there as my belly expands rapidly.

I went to church today and sat in on another ward's Beehive class lesson. We were visiting as a Stake YW Presidency. The teacher (in the middle of the lesson) turns to me and asks if I'm pregnant. I've gotten better in the last 24 hours so I am not as awkward. The ladies in my presidency with me all said that my belly was a lot bigger since I saw them Thursday night. In short, I am told that I am "blooming". I will post photos soon. I am feeling both babies moving a lot. In fact, on my plane ride Friday morning, they were dancing all over the place. The cool part is that I can tell which one is moving. This is helping pregnancy feel a lot more real and exciting.
