D and I went on a marathon walk yesterday. I was feeling incredibly guilty for not doing the Times Colonist 10K run that morning. I was all set to go but I was unsure, it would have been a little weird. These days, when I run, I feel my stomach actually bounce! It's a little strange.

Anyway, towards the end of our walk, we met up with a friend of ours I haven't seen in a couple of weeks. She got excited to see that there is a little bump in my stomach now and you know what? She rubbed my belly and I didn't mind! It was a warm feeling, very nice and comforting.
Perhaps it was who was doing the rubbing. It was nice when my Mom rubbed as well.

I think I will rethink this whole "don't touch the pregnant woman" thing.
