Identity Crisis

Now that I am just about 6 months pregnant (!) and starting to show more & more, I am feeling more than ever like a "pregnant lady." It's weird. It doesn't quite feel like me. It's kinda like, I feel like people make some assumptions about you knowing that you're preggers. And that might just be part of how society is... I mean, aren't we judged by our cars, our homes, even how we do our hair... (?) It's one of those truths about society I like to ignore. Something about me likes having a sense of anonymity when out in public. Just blending in, no one to judge. But when you have a big ol belly in front of you, there's no hiding that. A lot of women say they just LOVE being pregnant, LOVE the attention it brings, LOVE the Belly! I guess I better get used to it, cause soon I won't just be "the pregnant lady" but will be "Mom," which is even more of a label. Yikes!
