A freak show... (or has no one in the entire Panhandle ever seen a pregnant chick?)

Mark is coming along nicely, too. I thought it was about time for a little update on the pregnancy. My due date is this Friday but I am scheduled to be induced Thursday. Maybe she will come before then, who knows? Last Thursday I had my last appointment and I am a little over 3 centimeters dilated and 60% effaced. My mom is coming Monday. So this little girl can come anytime after Monday and that would be alright by me. I am so ready to meet her and so is Sadie... she won't stop talking about her. I think she is so excited to be a big sister. I can't wait to see these two together. So about the title... I have had more people comment on me being pregnant than you could imagine. It really is insane. Mark has told me many times he can't take me out in public any more. I have had people literally stop me and tell me how amazed they are at how huge my belly is. This has been going on ever since we moved here. For months now I have heard comments like this... "Is today your due date?", "twins?", "looks like you were due weeks ago" are you hiding a basketball under there?" I had a little boy try and lift my shirt up and told me how fat my belly was. I have had random strangers rub my belly. We cant go anywhere with out at least 5 people stopping us. I really feel like a show. It's pretty funny. I really don't remember ever getting very many comments and looks when I was pregnant with Sadie in Richmond. I know I'm huge, but still, very strange.
