Olive on a toothpick

This is how one of Gene's coworkers described thin pregnant women: "Like an olive on a toothpick." It does seem that if you're thin you spend the first 3-4 months saying, "No, Really, I am pregnant!" and then within about 3 days it's suddenly so obvious that complete strangers keep coming up and asking when you're due. For me, that 3 day period was this week. I had a client suddenly notice, another client eyeing my tummy, a waitress asking if I'm pregnant, and a cashier asking when I'm due. I even had someone at church say, "When I look at you from the side, I see something that I didn't see before..." Apparently he missed my announcement to the church on Mother's day. Now, to be fair, I do feel huge, but I've felt that way for months now. Apparently I've finally reached the olive on a toothpick stage and people can tell. And now this olive and toothpick are off to the hardware store for a new fan and a new blade to repair the lawnmower...Olive/Toothpick Woman, Away!
