(and that you appreciate LOTR) :) That's so interesting that this goes for adoptions too-we should all just start a "positive pregnancy/adoption story" trend to build up a pro-life, pro-family culture :) Thanks so much for the feature-and for the compliment!

My favorite part of this story (besides how adorable this kid sounds) is the fact that it took him a little while to realize that you were pregnant-I'm guessing he was more eye-level with your pregnant belly, so I expected that he would've reacted immediately! Little kids are funny like that :) AnneMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13462442204217572325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758330335100037759.post-12571284479110503932016-05-20T23:25:26.453-05:002016-05-20T23:25:26.453-05:00About Story #1: I love kids' reactions.

After a moment his eyes drifted downward toward my belly and he said in a quiet, low voice: "Woah.

It's so neat that people are looking out for you :) I love how, generally speaking, so many people in the South and Midwest are thoughtful like that. Also, I don't know why this happens, but it seems like nearly every person out there feels the need to make a comment about aAnneMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13462442204217572325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758330335100037759.post-27799353368133004652016-05-19T13:29:43.535-05:002016-05-19T13:29:43.535-05:00What sweet stories!

So much better than the "You're huge!" that I hear so often. <br /><br />I don't have any stories like these, but I can say that it is nice to be back in the South where people tend to be more kind than where we were during my first pregnancy (DC metro area).
