It honestly drives me crazy when I go over to my mother-in-law's house and she immediately tries to shove her face against my stomach. I actually had to tell her straight up that it bothers me—only my husband should be kissing my belly and talking to the baby like that.
I don't mind at all when one of my close friends touches my bump. For instance, I was out grabbing coffee with a friend yesterday, and she kept patting my stomach throughout our chat. It didn't bother me one bit because she’s been by my side since day one of this pregnancy; she's seen me through all the ups and downs, and I know her excitement is completely genuine.

I just came across this video where a cat was gently patting a baby's head with its paw while she was crying, and the little thing actually calmed right down and drifted off to sleep. Honestly, absolutely precious.

I honestly believe that people who don't care about animals aren't exactly good people.
Seriously, my dog has more common sense than half the people I encounter. When our neighbor’s little girl was visiting, she tried to bolt toward the street, and Lara actually stepped in—she physically nudged her back into the yard and wouldn't let her near the road. She's incredibly gentle with kids, too. It’s not even a debate for me; I’d never stop my own child from playing with her. If someone has an issue with that, they shouldn't bother coming over to our place.

Honestly, my mother-in-law gets on my nerves too. Every single time we visit her, she’s shoving her face right into my stomach. Last time, I finally snapped and told her, "Look, if you want to stick your nose in my business, you can go all the way to California for all I care."
