I love it when people say that they cannot tell I am PG from behind, though. It means my butt is nowhere near as large as I sometimes feel it is... small consolation (would you like some of the oatmeal cookies I am chowing on? ;) ) I don't mind belly rubs, though, but prefer to be asked first... no surprise fondling of my belly allowed, thank you! That is AWESOME!
