Here's the thing...

I didn't realize how weird the whole belly-touching thing would be until I experienced it for myself. The thing I didn't know, is that even though I have a much rounder tummy now, that roundness is not a baby. The roundness all the stuff that used to be lower, that has now gotten pushed up by the new resident... who is located much farther down, like several inches below my belly-button. So, at this point, the whole belly touching thing is just weird because you're not touching the baby, you're touching my chunky belly! It's no different that asking to touch the belly of a friend who is not pregnant, but recently gained 10 pounds. It's no different than touching your own tummy. So please, let's save that for later.
