Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
That's not the first place most guys would look.
Men who've been through the pregnancy thing with a partner are usually looking to see if the boobie fairy has visited.
sarameg, is this her first baby? Second babies tend to show sooner. And with teeny women, they tend to show more, because they have not place to hide it. I don't think I looked pregnant until 7 months.
It was noticeable. Really noticeable. And yet....
Oh, I'd never notice either. Honestly, I just don't inspect people's bodies that much. The classmate was actually looking a little pudgy in the middle, but just like she ate a lot of fast food during finals or something.
Oh! And she's a great example of the fun non-ethnically-appropriate name thing. She hyphenated her last name, so she has one short latino name (her own) and one long Finnish name (her husband's).
It is her first and really, there is nowhere else on her for it to go but out.
Oh & that tall thin coworker (in a different building) who I'd wondered if she might be pregnant at the christmas party because she was wearing a loose sweater that wasn't her usual style? Was. I figured this out when she came back from her 3 month maternity leave. In march.
Observant, I am not.
Some chick at work tugged on my skirt in the caf this morning. Skirt goes to Goodwill. Not because she touched it, but because it looked like she had to. The lining is possessed.
What you cannot do when someone announces her pregnancy is PAT her stomach. Luckily I have a frosty New England reserve, or so I am told, and no stranger ever laid a hand on my belly.
Dudes, if there is one thing I would never do, it is pat someone's stomach! Ew.
Edit: But I am glad to know that my anti-hug vibes should carry through into anti-belly touch vibes if I ever get pregnant.

I've never patted a pregnant belly. I have cupped one or two, though. But I'd never do it to someone I hadn't already, say, hugged. Hugged a bunch of times, too.
I'd pat Jesse's tummy lots.
Of course there are people who break through my nature reserve. ita, you can rub my belly now, if you want. Boo boo.
KristinT - I'm guessing it was the same person you guessed and for the same reasons plus his mom is at the hospital and I bet he'd like to see Veronica too. They have one or two things to talk about, you know?
