Apparently, my walking down Michigan Ave. is akin to a freak show.
I was walking to the book store today during lunch and I noticed quite a few eyes on me. I'm not completely sure if there are more than usual or if I'm just noticing it more because I am more self conscious of my shape.
Either way, I seem to be garnering attention from the suburbanite tourists that flock to Michigan Ave in warmer weather. (Not that today constitutes warmer weather, but we take what we can get out here.)
I made pointed eye contact with about 15 Miley Cyrus look-a-likes today and a handful of pseudo-business men walking to lunch. It made me laugh of little - after I made sure I didn't have smutz of my face or a giant hole in my pants.
To be fair, I am getting rather large and I had a sort of sequined top on and my zebra coat that can't really be missed. I think that's why I liked it initially, because it was a bit of a show stopper.
It's just a different kind of show now that I have expanded to the size of a large farm animal...

Oh you sure know how to make me laugh.
You probably just looked so amazing plus a beautiful pregnant lady so you got double the normal amount of looks. But just get used to it, because once you are pregnant and everyone is gawking at your belly, once the baby comes out, everyone and their dog will be oogling at your baby (which is sometimes fun and other other REALLY annoying.)
I want your zebra coat...that sounds amazing. And the weather that goes with the coat.
I remember feeling like everyone was watching me and I imagined they were thinking (how is she still walking around like that) It braught a smile to my face whatever they were thinking.
I'd probably be checking you out too if I had a zebra coat like yours. You they we're just jealous and thinking "Gosh, where did she get that.. and who knew a pregnant woman could rock such a hot coat". I bet you're belly wasn't even the main attraction, and I know in my third tri that's the last thing I wanted people noticing..
Hey and go for you that you're actually out moving around.. I was a lazy lump and it's probably why I blew up like a ballon. I can't wait to start sending you all kinds of stuff for that baby.. I'm gonna be the Aunt that spoils. YAY!
