I went Christmas shopping today to finish up so we don't have to brave the traffic this weekend. My last stop was a department store. It was awesome:
Stranger 1: "Oh, how cute, boy or girl?"
Me: "Girl. You're my first stranger comment."
Stranger 1: "Back up I want my friend to see. Ashey, isn't she cute, look"
Me: "Thank you so much...I don't feel cute!"
Stranger 2: "I know I saw her when she came in, have you decided on a name?"
It was awesome! I am six months on Tuesday so I am glad somebody finally said something. Now maybe my friends and family will say I am showing instead of that I just look like I have "gained weight all over."
I am so excited about my sister, her husband and her two boys coming next week. They'll be here on Wednesday. It was so fun buying toys for them and for my nieces. I can't believe we're actually going to enjoy our Christmas instead of pretending we are not crushed over yet another miscarriage or year without a child. Next year we'll get to send out Christmas cards with a photo of us with our child...I can't wait!
She's kicking a lot now and I feel it at different times of the day. I wish Richard could feel it but she still stops every time I put his hand on my tummy. Some people have recommended using a flash light but, of course, we can't find ours. If I do not locate it by tomorrow I am buying another one.;o>

YAY! So glad you got your 1st stranger comment! So wonderful! Glad things are going well and you have a blessed Christmas to look forward to :) It's definitely a great great feeling! Did you dye your hair yet?
Congratulations! I am so very happy for you. I have been in my own world so long that I have not been on since the Radio show. Congratulations again!
It's always nice when a stranger notices.
I have heard of the flashlight idea. I'm giving a try as soon as I can find mine.
Thanks everybody!
Jojobee - my husband freaked and said "no". Not that I usually do whatever he says but if I dyed it and something happened I would never forgive myself so I am waiting until 28 weeks (3rd trimester) and will probably do it at home with the amonia free.
Clar - Wow! Long time no see, how you doing?
Julia - I tried the flash light thing last night and it did not work. Don't know if I just have and EXTREMELY stubborn little bugger in there or what...let me know how yours goes.
Merry Christmas! Hope this is the beginning of many happy Christmases in future.
ggop - Thanks! did you have your baby?
