AW - It's confirmed; I'm out of the awkward "gaining weight or pg?" phase!

I order my lunch from the cafe downstairs every couple weeks. The owner went to high school with my husband, so we always chat for a few minutes. I walked in today, noticed him look down at my belly, and the first thing he said was "OMG congratulations! I had no idea!" This is exactly what I needed to hear today because last night I tried on my dress again for the wedding tomorrow and kept asking DH if looked pregnant or like I just put on a few pounds. I wouldn't usually care, but here's my FFFC:

A lot of the people who will be at the wedding are friends with my ex and I'd so much rather them "report back" to him with, "P looks great! Her and her hubby are really happy and she makes a cute pregnant lady!" than "Wow, P let herself go since she got married." I know, I know....

I loved when people commented on my bump too. I know typically it's a no-no to comment on a women's figure, regardless of if she looks obviously pregnant or not, but I liked that strangers knew I was pregnant and not just chubby.

I think I was 15 weeks when I started getting comments from strangers.

You definitely looked pregnant in your HDBD pic this week, not just chubby!

And I think it's natural to want to "impress" people who know someone you're no longer in touch with. No one wants to look worse and have their ex or an old friend find out about it!
