North Dakota Babies

This just happened to me.

I don't understand it.

My aunt and her friend came over just a few seconds ago.  The friend was saying goodbye and touched my belly and said, "goodbye baby.  Ashley's thinking, 'ugh, don't touch my belly.' "  Whether or not I was actually thinking that, if you thought I would think that, why would you still touch my belly? 

And of course I was thinking that, I hardly know this chick.

I don't get it. And it annoys me.  Don't effing touch me.

  • I'm REALLY not looking forward to that.  Not sure if you read the post last week on TN from Katie about personally space, but I made a comment about the possible future belly touching.  I hate physical contact with most people.

  • She is the first sober person to actually touch the beast.  Besides my mom or Timm.  My mom thinks it is a great game to touch the beast.  When drunk people do it, I think it is funny.  They are all so excited and I have never had anyone do it without asking...even drunk people ask!
  • ugh. NOT looking forward to that!!

  • I had someone touch my belly last week when I told her I was PG.  Uh, hello?  There's not even anything there yet.  At least I can *kind of* understand it when you actually have a belly.  Some people have no boundaries!
  • I'm way into personal space and I appreciate people staying out of my bubble....Next time I'd remove her hand and say "I have boundaries, mmmkthanks"

  • I don't understand why people think that pregnant women & babies are public property.  Do not rub the belly, do not put your fingers in a baby's mouth.  It's really just common sense & common courtesy!
