Welcome to the life of Jim and Amber! I've followed blogs here and there, and thought it would be neat to share some of my life experiences with the world. So read along and laugh, cry, giggle, criticize with or at me!

Private Property

I've never understood the fascination people have about touching pregnant bellies.  When my best friend was pregnant, I never once touched her belly.  It's weird.  Ever since my belly has expanded, I have had numerous people come and rub my belly.  Some go to the extent of shaking it a little to see if my little guy will move.  It's different if my mom or Jim wants to touch my baby bump, but they don't touch unless I offer.  I've had people at grocery stores, baby stores, and maternity stores rub my belly. Strangers I've never seen touching me.  Seriously, if I wanted someone to touch my belly, I would wear a shirt that says "Rub Me" or "Touch Here."  As tempting as it may be to touch or rub, my belly is private property.  So HAND'S OFF PEOPLE!  I'm sure I'm not going to have the little pats and rubs when my little guy gets here.

    Awww..I'll rub your belly after he's born, just so you don't get depressed that it doesn't happen anymore. I'll do it for you! Haha. I never once had a stranger come up to touch my belly. I must have had a "I Dare ya to touch me" vibe about me. It's such an awkward thing to have someone touch your belly.
