Just wanted to share this story as it made me tear up! Hormones, anyone?!
21w pregnant and finally starting to show (as in I finally have a bump to match the ever growing bottom). Every morning in term time I see a group of kids walking to the local primary school, led by a young girl. This morning she came up to me on my way to the shop and asked "What you having then?". I was v confused, and asked what she meant, to which she said "The baby. What you having?".
I burst out laughing and started chatting (to a 10yr old!) about baby keeping its legs crossed in the scan, among other things. She was so wise, much wiser than me, and it was bizarre as its the first time I've really chatted about it to anyone other than DP. I did ask how she knew, and she explained she'd guessed a month ago and had bee looking out at my tummy to confirm it.. She then said congratulations and skipped off. I don't know what made me smile more, my first 'stranger' congratulations or her general wise old lady attitude. Certainly made me think that maybe kids aren't that bad after all. What is the minimum age limit for a babysitter again?!
