Buddha Belly

My belly is starting to get in my way far earlier than with my last pregnancy. At my midwife appointment at 13 weeks, she said my belly measured at the size for 15 weeks, which means I'm bigger than average. I sent out a picture to friends and family, which unleashed a barrage of verbal wit about how I was carrying a watermelon, an elephant (no, make that a herd), you get the idea. Good to know I'm so entertaining. Eva likes to pat my belly and yell "baby"! Sometimes I wonder if she really knows that there's a baby in there, but I think she's probably just imitating us. She likes to stuff her doll under her shirt so it looks like she's pregnant, then pat her belly and say "baby". Then she pulls the baby out and tries to tuck it under my shirt.
