18 Weeks: I Don’t Think You’re Ready.
I meant to have Scott take a picture of me each week, to document the baby-related changes in my physique. I say “meant to” because it hasn’t worked out that way—I was too paranoid to start until the second trimester, and one week I forgot, and another week we were out of town. As a result, we have pictures only from 14 weeks, 16 weeks, and now, 18 weeks:

When Scott handed me the camera after taking this picture I swore loudly and gaped at the tiny screen.
“I don’t think I look this big in real life, do I?” I asked.
“Oh no,” Scott said, “Most days you hardly look pregnant at all.”
“Really?”
“Are you kidding? Honey. You’re huuuuuuge.”

I think you look lovely. Of course, I’m sporting a similar size, so I feel obliged to say so. :)
You’re totally pregnant! I’m jealous!
Lookin’ good, mama!
I like the Red, white, and green too. Quite festive!
Wow, you look amazing. So very happy for both (all four) of you.
Look at you! You look fantastic!
Huge is great. Big, healthy babes.
i think it’s wondeful!
You’re sexxy! You look beautiful.
This is what I looked like (seriously) upon seeing a positive pregnancy test the second time around with 1 ickle one.
They say something about abdominal muscles relaxing, but I’m thinking it was the donuts.
I think I’d guess you were pregnant from that profile, you’re a fair way past ’showing’ :)
You look great.

You’re gorgeous! Wow.
What a beautiful baby belly!!!!
Think of it this way…you are growing two healthy babies in there! I think you look fabulous!
Uh, YEAH. You are most definitely pregnant. And that is most definitely awesome. You look wonderful!
Yay to happy, healthy science babies!!!
You have the perfect baby belly! You’re one of those pregnant woman that just show it in the belly, I’m guessing.
I remember asking my husband if a tight cable knit sweater looked bad on me (month 7 of pregnancy). He said “I don’t know how to answer that. You look pregnant. Not fat, not bad - pregnant.” The look of terror on that poor man’s face.
They try, thank goodness.
Holy cow! That’s a whole lot of baby. Fantastic!!
You absolutely have to take a picture late in the third trimester that shows the horror on your face as you catch your reflection in profile. It’s astounding what the body can do.
You look incredible!
Huuuuuge and Beeeauuuuutiful!
Hmm, sounds like someone I know ;) Huge and beautiful I definitely agree!
That is a beautiful belly full of healthy babies!
You look great - and you are carrying 2 babies in there - you certainly can’t compare yourself to those of us with singletons! They’re growing healthy and strong!
Umm, and you’re almost halfway! Heh.
You look lovely, m’dear. Radiant, I’m sure.
You look so great! What a pretty baby belly :)
At least he softened it with a ‘honey’….
and for the record, you’re huuuuuuge! :)
What a wonderful sight — really — you look marvelously pregnant in the best possible way!
Cute belly!
You’ve got babies in there!
Beautiful, beautiful tummy. Especially to be carrying twins. Looking great!
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuude…
You look fantastic.
Twins certainly move one ahead in the showing stakes.
Great pic! Glad to see you’re growing so nicely!

This made me crack up. I think your belly is just beautiful.
Absolutely fantastic. Although, I was that size when I was 8 months, but that’s only because my stupid placenta wasn’t working. Obviously your placentas are both functioning at above average capacity. Goodonya!
