Rub here for good luck
I really want one of those t-shirts with the fat, happy, laughing Buddha that says "Rub here for good luck" or "For good luck rub my belly" or something like that.
As my little pot belly grows, people have felt compelled to put their hands on it. I don't mind, because so far they've all been people I know well, and they know I'm pregnant. I suppose when I'm more obviously pregnant (and not just squirreling away some extra pounds for hibernation), people I either don't know well or who are strangers will also be unable to resist the urge to touch Cletus's pod. Maybe I'll rub their bellies back and freak them out.
I've heard from a lot of mothers that they had to "just get used to it." Why wait for it to happen? Be prepared, I say. So, if you find one of those shirts, let me know where to buy it. Or better yet...I could probably use a medium.
