In my opinion, beside increased belly rubbing by others, I’ve noticed that people either when finding out that you are pregnant or are seeing how you are doing, say “wow, you look great“….okay, so it’s not the infamous Billy Crystal “you look marvelous” as my title suggested…but we digress…

I guess it just happens so often that:

…either my rosy cheeks are just really becoming…and I do look great!

…or (when discussing this with my husband), maybe it’s that people expect a woman in her 7th month (or I guess, at any point in the pregnancy) to just look tired, haggardly etc etc… but what about that pregnancy “glow”……?

…or, the one that I hope isn’t the case — people are like “whoa, how do I tell this lady that she needs to do something about  fill-in-the-blank”. Maybe my cheeks are not Disney-pretty but look like a bad case of clown blush, or maybe my belly shows more stretch marks but by the sheer size and shape of my belly, I can’t see them…

or, or….NAH…….I look marvelous!

And that’s just what I will ponder while munching on another cherry popsicle stick. After all, my lips have to match my cheeks!

Because according to Billy Crystal’s Marvelous video: “Don’t be a snook. It’s not about how you feel, it’s about how you look“!
