    One of the running jokes in this comic strip is whenever a character thinks a picture in a thought balloon, the other characters can see it and they almost always say something like, “I know what you’re thinking.”

    It’s funny. I’d never felt MORE beautiful than when I was pregnant. I was actually in shape. Hey…round IS a shape! (Seriously, tho…I really did feel beautiful while pregnant.)

    Ah, back in the days of maternity tent dresses…now everyone just wears stretchier yoga pants and tops. Come to think of it, even if they are not pregnant.

    Mike won’t be laughing when he gets stuck with baby-sitting duties.

    I was thinking something along the lines of a camouflage tent.

    If you can’t laugh at Mom and Dad once in a while you will need therapy by the time your 30.

    Doctors offices should take the ultrasound image and get it printed on a tee shirt.

    Being confident with your parents is important. I don’t see Michael’s reaction as disrespectful. He’s being playful with his mom.

    Those maternity clothes never really camouflaged anything, but I think they were much better than what some of the pregnant women are wearing these days.

    Never laugh at the person who makes you dinner. Rookie!

    This one is really funny. I laughed the first time it ran, and laughed again this morning.

    I think it is the underside of the belly that makes me uncomfortable. The modern idea of wearing a thin stretchy top over the belly that shows off all of the contours right down to the pubis bothers me. Perhaps it’s just me.

    Camouflage, why? You are carrying a life inside . What could be more beautiful? Although I don’t like seeing them wear regular clothing stretched over their bellies. Or too short tops that show skin. Makes them look cheap and sloppy. I might be too “old school”.

    She knows what he’s thinking because she’s thinking the same thing.
