Friend...Strangers-I reeeeeally don't like it. <br /><br />Friends-I've always been okay with a few quick pats or if the baby is actually moving (Like Thea said-far enough along) so they can feel it. <br /><br />Great post. <br /><br />Can I say completly off subject, that you look hot! I mean you are one of those hot pregnant people. I'm a week behind you and about 6 weeks bigger...and ah-hem it's not baby. :)<br /><br />daaa na na na.....

I remember being pregnant with Cole, I had literally peed on the stick the night before and when Chris told a male friend of ours--the dude reached over and rubbed my 6/week pregnant belly. It was weird. <br /><br />I don't mind touching, but for me physical touch can be overwhelming. I have elevated senses and so it isn't always pleasant for me to be touched. I'm good with a warm friendly hug, but please don't rub my shoulders or stroke my hair and I am cool with NOT holding hands with my husband.<br /><br />You know me Sara, I am a friendly girl. But people who are too physically friendly make me uncomfortable. I think this also goes back to love languages. You can hug me, but that might not convey love to me. Now if you were to offer me a cup of tea or brought me a book you just finished that I might like--love.<br /><br />Food for thoughtChristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16379979515621847791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243468165683187818.post-38291171235541792962009-06-10T13:55:36.885-07:002009-06-10T13:55:36.885-07:00I don't think I would feel comfy touching some...I don't think I would feel comfy touching someone's belly that wasn't a good friend...but it doesn't bother me when friends or acquaintances touch mine...so long as I'm far enough along that you could potentially feel the baby - belly touching at 12...15 weeks...weird.<br /><br />Strangers touching is...strange.<br /><br />Good notes mamma...thanks :)<br /><br />PS - your photo looks great! you are so teenie!! :) I love your baby bump!Theahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06708727119966585137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243468165683187818.post-81295841648617828472009-06-10T13:49:08.921-07:002009-06-10T13:49:08.921-07:00OK, good.

I have a mentor in Las Vegas who is a big toucher: he hugs, holds hands when he prays, draps his arms around his friends' shoulders and generally gets in your space. I absolutely *loved* it and I find that it brings me closer relationally to the guys in my life. Unfortunately, not a lot of other guys agree. In fact, some are downright homophobic about it. I hope we can break down some of the walls we've put up to isolate ourselves from the world and from the "danger" of intimacy with others.<br /><br />(I'm not going to go touch a pregnant woman's belly, though)Etiennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03287620204527682596noreply@blogger.com
