ML and I got home last night from a week long vacation to visit family, friends, and follow one of our favorite bands for a few nights. I've been looking forward to this trip for so long, and had such a great time. It is good to be home though :)
Best part of the entire trip was on Wednesday night. We had just arrived at the show, looking for a place to set up as home base where I could sit as much as I needed, while the boys roamed to dance in the crowd. The venue was mostly standing/dancing, but there were some bleachers set up although they were pretty full looking when we arrived. As we scanned for a few empty seats a man in the very first row caught our attention and asked us if we needed a seat. He said something about pregnant women needing a comfortable place to sit down and offered us the two seats he'd been saving for his friends! We had two of the very best seats in the entire venue, which was beyond awesome and made for a fantastic night.
Even more awesome than the seats, which really were amazing, though was that this was the first time that a stranger had acknowledged that I was pregnant. I could have cried. Instead I smiled the biggest smile and basked in the glow of this experience all night long. It might sound strange, but I've been waiting for that moment for so long. And it was perfect.
Then later on in the evening a woman sitting next to us leaned over and asked me when I was due :) Again I could have cried. It just felt so good, so perfect.
Another perfect part of the shows was on Monday night when they played one of my favorite songs. ML and I were dancing and as they sang the course "We want you to be happy, cause this is your song too" ML just kept rubbing my belly. It all just felt so wonderful I could barely contain myself.

Aww I can just feel your joy over people acknowledging your baby belly! :) Someday I hope to shout from the rooftops "Everyone lookkkkkk at my belllyyyy!" haha I just read your back story on your treatments...and I was so happy to hear you conceived on your first IVF! I think that's what I read anyways. I am so desperate to hear success stories because you hear so many horrors!!

Sounds like an amazing week, Foxy! I'm so glad that you had your wonderful moment of being recognized as a pregnant woman. Sounds perfect, indeed.

My husband is a Phish fanatic (or phanatic? lol) and is going to the Labor Day shows in CO. Myself I could take them or leave them :)
And isn't being recognized as pregnant by strangers the coolest feeling?!?!
