the ever awaited validation...
Jan. 22nd, 2010 04:51 pmI was at Smithsonian today volunteering my time. I had to first fight the crowds of participants who were attending the March For Life (Pro-life gathering). It made me cry.... reasons will be shared another time. I am just happy at the moment. I went up in my usual uniform and took up my post.
The usual Friday volunteers & staff were there. Hellos, Happy New Year wishes, holiday stories were shared as it's been a month since I have been there! I noticd some of them kept taking glances at my belly. They never did this before! I just ignored it. There's this cashier who also has her shift every Friday. She looks in her early 20s. She never smiles at least not the times I have shown up in the last six months. I swear I could crack a joke and she would just stare at me blankly. As she was letting some people in, she actually smiled ever so cutely and asked lowering my voice if I was going to have a baby! When I said yes, she looked so happy and went on to asking me if I knew the gender. I replied, no not yet. And then she had to let the customers through and so that ended our conversation and ended the smile on her face.
yay! My first stranger encounter about my pregnancy!
I think I felt baby's first hiccups last night! oh how cute! I think I felt it earlier but didn't realise it at the time.
The baby was so much more active today!! I felt the movements every 30-40 minutes! Earlier it was only after eating and in the late afternoon around 4-5pm and at 11pm for a bit. Lets hope it doesn't stay this active as it grows bigger!! hehehe...
