I will let you in on a little secret. I have a super power. I have a preg-dar (pregnancy radar). For some reason, I can tell when a woman I know is in the early stages of pregnancy. This power only came to be after I had L; it is an acquired super power for sure. I am very thankful that I was not bitten by some radioactive arachnid, although that would be considerably less traumatic than having a baby. I detected a co-worker's pregnancy when she was 6 weeks along, I detected a cousin's pregnancy just a month ago when she was 8 weeks along. The highest level of detection though was my brother-in-law's wife; 1 year ago I detected her pregnancy before she even knew for sure that she was 3 weeks pregnant.
I don't know how I can tell when someone I know is pregnant, there is not one specific thing that sets off the preg-dar. I think I just detect the subtle signals and changed that happen and notice the differece in people that I know well. I have amazed J and my mother in law many times already, so I decided that it was time to tell the world about my wonderful power. Beware friends and family, I can tell when you got a bun in the oven! Another way to think of it: You can save money on a pregnancy test!
