Attack of the belly touchers and non-filters

So, we went to a family wedding on Saturday...one of Kelly's cousins. By the way, Kelly has approximately a million cousins and therefore family weddings-FIL is one of 16 (yes I said sixteen) children. Soooo....its a big family, and there a million cousins and a million children and actually its really fun to be part of such a big and close family. Well, once you get past the oh my gosh how am I supposed to keep all these people straight?! Because when you marry into a family that big, its impossible to know everyone and yet everyone knows who you are b/c well, you're the new person! Quite overwhelming for the first year or so, but then you get over it and realize, no I am never going to be able to keep every aunt straight (they all look alike!!) and remember which cousin goes with which aunt and uncle...but you get to know a lot of them and it turns out to be really fun.

Ok....enough of that tangent.....the belly touchers. Its interesting how people are just drawn to pregnant women. Its like there is some sort of magnetic force radiating from a pregnant belly. People feel compelled to touch it, talk to it, at least remark on it if nothing else. I sort of expected it from my MIL, from the grandmothers, even maybe aunts...but when I had a male cousin touch the belly...well that one sort of threw me for a loop! And the comments....where do people's filters go when they encounter a pregnant woman?? Out the window apparently!! "Are you planning on nursing?" (asked by a male, very manly man type of cousin) um...hello, awkward....not sure how its any of your business what I do or don't do with my breasts, thanks much!! Luckily that one was directed at Kelly, who joked it away by saying "well, not me personally, wasn't planning on it!". This next one is just great..."Did you know right away?" Also from a male, also directed at Kelly...who got the most confused look on his face and said "Um...you mean, did we know she was pregnant? Uh, yeah pretty much." The four of us at the table burst into laughter after the person left. I mean...what kind of question is that?! Why on earth does it matter to you or anyone how quickly we knew?? This was not even someone we are close to that asked this question. Just strange. I figure it was his way of trying to ask if we were "trying" or if it was a "surprise". Which of course is also a ridiculously rude question...luckily I've only gotten that from one other person so far. It just amazes me the things people think its okay to ask once you're pregnant. I know this is only the tip of the iceberg...it will be interesting to see what other comments/questions we get. One of those things you just have to have a sense of humor about I guess! Anyone else get any good ones??
