More often than not, 9 out of 10 people think I'm due anytime. Wherever I go, may it be in the mall, bank, grocery or church they can't help but notice stare at me maybe because of my body built, I'm petite and has a tummy that is unusually big. I don't like the attention, but I appreciate some perks!
Let me share some:
1. I hate going to the banks due to long queues. Bank staffs normally approach me and I get to skip the line. On ATMs, strangers let me go first so I can go back to the car immediately. I love it!
2. I'm always offered seats wherever I go. I feel like a VIP! *haha*
3. I'm the priority on elevators and escalators. They give way but sometimes it's embarrassing already.
I also get to meet and speak with quite a number of strangers already.
Normally they'll ask me if I'm due anytime and if I'm alone (looking and sounding worried) everytime I tell them 'no, I'm on my 5th month only' I can see big question marks on their faces. For the brave ones more curious people I'm given follow up comments that my tummy is big for 5 months...
They never fail to amaze me everytime I tell them that I'm expecting triplets then I smile. *haha* If only I have video cam with me all the time, it would be nice to capture their comical reactions. I've even encountered some Lolas clapped their hands and jumped while in St. Pio chapel queuing for the relics. Apparently, she's a Lola to a twins.
Earlier in a bank, a korean looking guy approached me and as expected tried to guess that I'm due anytime. I got the same reaction. He said he's good on guessing baby's age based on tummy size since his wife is an OB-Gyne/Gyne-Onco (in Medical City and St. Lukes). I think he's a doctor, too but I failed to ask.
I'm sure our babies will get more attention when they come out. I should be ready and get used to to it...
