Someone noticed

I am definitely getting thick around the middle but didn't think it was obvious to everyone that I am pregnant.  I went to a meeting of a group I am in and I hadn't seen anyone since July and one woman asked me when the happy day would be.  I stared for a while and smiled and asked her if that is what she is asking me.  She said yeah and I said I hadn't told anyone yet so we weren't announcing for a little longer - she responded with "well, it's rather obvious, isn't it?  I thought everyone [in the group] knew already so that's why they weren't talking about it anymore." 

It was kinda fun to tell but not sure how I feel about her assessment with how obvious it is!  We told my parents, my MIL & FIL & SIL and that's it so far so I at least like to think I am doing a decent job of keeping it under wraps.  We're telling friends next weekend so it isn't a big deal but I was just surprised!

Re: Someone noticed

  • A male coworker asked me a few weeks ago if everything was alright.  He said "I can't put my finger on it, but you seem different somehow".  I told him I was very  tired b/c we weren't announcing yet.

  • I know how you feel. I actually had a parent of one of my student's congratulate me when I was only 11 weeks along. I was in shock at how they just assumed. Some people guess because of the "pregnancy glow" which I still cannot figure out what the heck that is. If you're like me, you're feeling like you're getting "fatter" rather than looking pregnant.

  • This happened at school on Thursday. I'm already telling people but I just walked by and she looks me up and down and goes "are you?" I said yes. She was happy condensed version.

    Well, it won't really matter - we only know people together from this group [it is kinda hard to explain] so if she tells anyone, it'd just be then and I don't really care (if anything happens between now and my next meeting, I'll email her so she doesn't say anything).

  • My teenage SIL looked at me last night and said very bluntly, "You look pregnant." I'm only 11 weeks! I guess I used to have a flatter stomach, and now by the end of the day, I do definitely look pregnant. I'm not telling my school until next week, so I'm hoping that other teachers don't have the same thought as SIL.
