Not your usual pregnancy reading material...

If I've learned anything from being pregnant, it's that each pregnancy is as different as each person who is pregnant. That said, a lot of the popular books give general knowledge and do a good job of covering the basics, but I wanted something else. As interesting as it is to read about symptoms, the baby's progress, and whatnot, all I can really do is wait... and try and eat... and wait some more for the real deal to start!

I've decided to go a more unconventional route, get to the nitty gritty and read about other women's experiences having babies, so I've added to my reading list the following:

I was reluctant to even do this since I had just eaten and need a haircut. However, here is the white belly in all its glory!

OVERHEARD AT DINNER

"I'm sorry to bother you, but is that the yellow curry? It smells fantastic."

The Boy and I were sitting down in a booth at a local hole-in-the-wall Thai restaurant. And I wanted what she was having. So I asked. The older woman at the next table smiled and nodded.

"It is fantastic! But it's not the yellow... it's called 'Gang Bang' or something. Though, hmmm.... that doesn't sound right."

She was not making light. For the entire exchange, her face remained unchanged, totally placid, as though to say, "Gang bang is a perfectly natural name for a spicy curry dish." I turned to my menu and quickly shot a raised-eyebrow WTF look at The Dork Lord who mouthed, "Gang bang?" before going back to his list of exotic beer. Giving the menu a one-over, I located the intoxicating smelling dish.

"I think you mean Gang Dang?"

"Yes, that's it!"

The woman smiled again and went back to her food, and I turned back to our table thinking one, that I was glad I didn't have to order a gang bang, because seriously, I wasn't sure I had it in me. And two, old people these days.
