Trust mormon ladies to spread the News of a new pregnancy, like laughing cow cheese on a club cracker (not the best analogy but i am hungry for cheese spread, and club crackers)
I sit down in our pew, some how making it there on time (first time in like MONTHS) and we hang out quietly getting settled and then jill sits down in front of me... looks down at my somewhat thickening waist and says "baby is starting to show"
Wow i was shocked, like actually and truley caught off guard!!! that was so stinking fast!!!! She was so sure of herself too, like not a question like, i heard you are expecting, but like wow hey fatty look at your pudge showing LOL
We are somewhat close friends, when i am not as busy and as sick as i have been, so i wasnt offended by her comment, just rendered speachless by the thought of gossip speeding from phone line to phone line fast than i can spit... still the shock is lingering
I said "oh, ::pause look down put hand on pudge:: yeah i guess so, ::sheepish smile:" then the usual berage of questions: when are you due(jan), how have you been feeling (lies about how i have been a little sick, i just dont feel right saying... I AM DYING, DYYYYYYYYIIIIIINNNNNGGGGG throw up lots of it ZOFRAN, DYING.... how would our conversation continue after that haha) Are you hoping for a boy or girl (oh i know it is a girl) followed by accusing eyes of you are nuts for assuming you just know haha
Man i hope baby is a girl because i have told every one how we just know it is a girl... wont i feel dumb after being so self assured lol
the rest of church was the same thing every time i smiled at/passed anyone "in the know" so every one
oh yeah then after the usuall barage, the recount of all the pregnant ladies in the ward...
i love being LDS it is always exiting, even the most mundane of things... not that pregnancy is mundane but still
