I frequently set up office at the library at the university here in town — a very Waspy, conservative, Caucasian kind of place — and lately I’ve noticed I’ve been getting some strange looks from among the coeds. Mostly the dudes.
I’m almost 7 months pregnant. I’ll see a guy looking at me, then his eyes will drop to my protruding belly and a look of almost wonder mixed with fear will show up on his face, and he’ll hurriedly look away….almost out of embarrassment, like he’s thinking, “Cute co-ed….whoa! Somebody forgot to take her morning-after pill.”
That’s what I like to tell myself they’re thinking, anyway. For all I know, the thought bubble could be more along the lines of, “Whoa! Chunky monkey at 12 o’clock. Must look away.”

lmao I had a similar occurence at Target. This rather adorable guy was looking at me we made eye contact i walked out from behind rack and I thought the guy was going to faint. I was 8 months pregnant and had the beachball belly from hell.
