10 Great Things About Being Pregnant

I stumbled across the blog Pregnant Chicken a few months ago, and the author CRACKS me right up!  I love reading her posts.  One of her most recent entries was called 10 Great Things About Being Pregnant.  Chris and I both laughed out loud when we read it.  I agree with just about everything she said, too!  I think my favorite is that you "don't have to suck it in". :)  Also, Chris couldn't get over how friendly people were to us when we were in Jamaica.  It is totally true that for some reason people love a pregnant lady, and they are totally friendlier and think you are cute when you have a bump.  

To prove that point, here is a conversation I had with a random lady in our hotel lobby in Jamaica:
Random lady:  Oh!  Hello!  I saw you and your husband on the beach.  You two are just so cute.  Is this your first?
Me:  Yes, it's our first.  We are very excited!
Random lady:  Oh my gosh that is just so cute.  How far along are you?
Me:  Almost 7 months.
Random lady:  Oh!!  That's so great!  What's your name?
Me:  Amanda.
Random lady:  Awwwwwwwww!  So cute!

Me: ?!?!?!?!?!?!

Haha so odd, but people think a baby bump is adorable.  And apparently your name is also adorable when you're pregnant???  I guess I better soak it up now because I bet moms of rambunctious toddlers are not always found so "cute". ;)
