Countdown, Day 10: Bumping & "The Look"
1) The most popular form of entertainment at the Smolko household these days is watching Joanna's wiggling, wriggling belly as the babies bump around. The previously mentioned lumping is more of a static activity, but it often gets combined with bumping in amusing ways. It's like those arcade whacking games, or a Bugs Bunny cartoon, where one lump gets pushed down, only to have it pop up in another place.
It's really fun when they both get going--my belly looks like a rolicking sea!
Sometimes--I know I shouldn't tease them--I'll egg them on. If I push down on a spot right beside a lump, the lump will then bump to that spot. And then I find a new spot to poke...
And guessing the body part sticking out is fun, too!
2) When I go out in public these days, I'm starting to get The Look. The "please don't drop any babies out on the floor of my store/restaurant/place of business." Sometimes The Look is accompanied by commentary. One woman opened the door for me the other day, looked down at my belly, looked back at me and drawled, "Bless your heart!"

My mom went shopping while she was on her way to the hospital, after being in labor for 10 hours. I wouldn't be surprised if the cashier is still telling the story of "the woman in labor" to this day.
I bet if you act like you're having contractions, people will give you faster service. :)
