OK, here's my latest PG sign...In the last two days, my DH, my MIL, and my aunt have all three out of the blue, in the middle of a conversation, said, "You look so pretty!" for no apparent reason. Now, I know my DH may be a bit biased, but what's the deal? Hmmm....maybe an early PG "glow?" That would be nice, wouldn't it? Anyway, just wanted to share!

ADC,

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you! Wouldn't that be nice. A man I worked with once told me that it is an Armenian belief that if retain your looks durring pregnancy you are carrying a boy But if your looks diminish you are having a girl and you gave all your beauty to her. I thought it was a neat way to look at things. He says he is seldom wrong!!

Thanks Jennifer! That's a very interesting theory. So, I guess if I really am PG, we'll see if people *keep* telling me I look pretty! Then, I can "test" that theory! Oh, I hope I get the chance to! We'll see! Congratulations to you again!!!

Hey ADC, I really hope that is an EPS, because I am in the middle of my TWW (AFNW on 8/16) and I have had 4 different co workers tell me almost exactly the same thing, on different days. 2 male and 2 female coworkers. The guys said that I looked different somehow, but they couldn't tell what. I hadn't changed my appearance in any way. And the girls both said that I looked prettier than I normally do. (Apparently they think I always look pretty - okay, what ever!)

What other symptoms have you noticed?

Hi Melissa,

It's weird, isn't it, when someone catches you off guard with a comment like that? Nice, but weird!! I haven't really noticed any major symptoms - nothing that couldn't be my imagination anyway. I'm tired, but that could be because I just washed a big pile of dishes. And I've felt a little sick to my stomach the past couple of days, but again, that could totally be in my head. We'll just have to see. Anyway, I'm crossing my fingers for both of us! Good luck!

Have you had any symptoms - besides looking exceptionally pretty?? ;)

Hi Kim,

That's too funny! Did you happen to see Jennifer's (princessjenjen) reply to me with the theory about looks during PG? Did you happen to be PG with a girl? Maybe you were "passing on your beauty" to her! Or, then again, maybe it was just hormones! :)

yeah i saw that post-too funny. I had a boy though. He is very handsome so maybe that's it LMAO I never did put much stock into Old Wives' Tales-they are fun, but really kind of a waste of time LOL
