i dont mind belly rubs. my belly was HUGE with DS and i've got a little belly now with bundy. i was one of those strange people who was like "come on, tuch the belly - i dare you!' . but i can understand how alot of people dont like belly rubs. i'm out going so it kind of flows on. mind you DS had other ideas - when ever some one other then me put their hand on my belly to feel his kicks he'd stop! i must be the odd ball and im looking forward to shareing the baby belly with every one!
