@calliah@duewithpu2 I so wish I had RBF. I have the opposite that I like to refer to as RFF (Resting Friendly Face) so I ALWAYS get people who come up to me to ask questions, ask for directions, small talk, etc. I am definitely an outgoing person, but it's annoying sometimes haha.

@zuuls_mom Me, too! It's the worst when you're just trying to get through a grocery shopping trip and you have random strangers talk to you about nothing and everything! And I can't be mean, so I just stand there and awkwardly try to convey through body language how desperately I need to leave! People do NOT get body language, I've found. Haha.
@mamaber2204 OMG yes, I feel that so hard. We are so similar it cracks me up! We need to take Mean Girls lessons together. I can be snarky, but it is not possible for me to be mean and tell people to shut up lol. Especially people who touch my bump! I just want to throat punch them or yell "excuse me! no!" but I don't and just stand there with a painful smile on my face.

@zuuls_mom YES. Exact same unwanted bump touching response here! I always walk away from these situations with all these amazing ideas of what I should have said and how awesome it would have been, but I CAN'T do it IRL. We're going to have to hang out on maternity leave (or mat leave, as Workin' Moms puts it)! Hiking and fro yo with the babies?!
@mamaber2204 yesssss! That sounds like an amazing plan!
@nightdreamr13 hahaha that's amazing. My Sr. VP (whom I have known for over 10 years) always seemed like she hated me and then one day she's like "people always say they think I hate them because of my RBF, but I swear it's just my face!" and I died laughing and now we're super close.

@zuuls_mom Deal! I'm looking forward to it already! I logged LOTS of hiking miles last time around and am looking forward to it again this time! Yay for Autumn!
Lol at the RBF/RFF discussion! I think I'm close to RBF (not a single person tried to touch my bump with DS), but I think of it more as Resting Serious Face. I get asked for directions a lot - when I walk I must look like I know where I'm going
People definitely leave me alone with my RBF but I hate when people always freaking ask if I’m okay or what’s wrong. Dude, it’s just my face. I did like not being touched when I was pregnant with DS. I also hate smal talk.
I picked the wrong profession though, it’s hard to walk through the halls of the hospital and try to look cheerful. My face just doesn’t do that. I feel like my smiles are fake. And patients watch me while I scan so I try to be cognizant of what my face is doing but it’s hard! Don’t try to read your so Sonographer’s face while their scanning, lol.

Re: HDBD 3/27
Feeling extra Humpty Dumptyish today at 14wk 1day. This bump is much higher and rounder than DS so hoping there’s a girl baby in there!

Lily go beddy bye.
But one more glamour shot before I hit the hay (still looks more burrito than baby)
Last day of vacation, so it’s a swimsuit bump shot today.
