Encounters
At the grocery store this morning, standing in line for Tim's coffee, I hear a woman's voice behind me exclaim (in a friendly way) "Wow - it's a pregnant woman who still has ankles!" Mornings are generally a good time for my ankles. It isn't until end of day that they swell. I explained that to her. She went on to elaborate that when she was pregnant she "looked it from head to toe all the time". Guess I don't have it so bad after all ;-)
On my walk later this afternoon I saw two women approaching my direction - clearly out for their afternoon walk as well. As they passed by, the younger of the two, out of the blue, reached out and patted my tummy (3 times - "pat pat pat") and as she did so smiled and said "I have a beautiful name; you should use my name for your baby", and the older one laughed in a kind way and wished me good luck. They had Caribbean accents. I never did learn her name. But I wonder how they knew she is a girl?
