I can't get over the growing baby lumps. My belly touching is almost always a product of me thinking "Is my baby practicing roundhouse kicks?" or "I'm that big?!" DH is oddly proud of the baby lumps and smiles whenever he sees them, whereas I'm still trying to wrap my head (and hands) around them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-rub-your-belly-a-lot-when-you-are-pregnant#post-226086 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 07:24:59 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 226086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did when it was a big bump.
