Do I Look....
......pregnant? 
I had several ladies compliment me on a blue dress I wore to church on Sunday, a dress I hadn't worn in a long time b/c of nursing Peyton. Were they really wondering if I was in the family way in the back of their minds? The reason I am wondering is that two days ago I called an older lady in our church to give a prayer request for the church's prayer chain. Once she figured out it was me on the line, she asked, "Are you pregnant again?" What? Where in the world did that come from? I quickly answered, "No! I have a prayer request for the prayer chain!"
So now my mind has been set to wondering. Was it the dress? Is it my post-baby pooch (even though I have less than two pounds left to lose)? Or does she just think it's time for me to bake another baby bun in the oven? I honestly have no idea, and to be truthful, I didn't ask.
During my contemplations, I had the thought, "Maybe I shouldn't have said 'no'." And no, I'm not pregnant. But what do I say if someone asks me and I AM and I don't want anyone to know yet? The solution? "I have a baby."
And that's the truth.
