You are look absolutely beautiful.
Shelley, don't shy away from the camera. You are 30 weeks with triplets and still looking hot momma! I agree with Rebecca, we all come in different shapes and sizes and no matter what there is a beautiful baby trying to show himself or herself in there. Baby bumps are my favorite, I just love bellies. Plus it's so neat to watch them as you grow. So keep posting and don't be embarrased!

Tammy, I would love to see a picture of your twin bump The dress I was wearing I bought from Old Navy Maternity. I ordered some stuff online, the prices are good, the shipping was only $5 and you can return items to any Old Navy, even ones that do not carry maternity wear. The dresses are comfortable to wear when it is hot. I just wish my arms didn't get fat too!

I am not on official bedrest but I am on restricted activites. I stay at home mostly and spend a lot of time on my recliner. The average triplet gestation is 33 weeks but I am hoping to make it 4-6 more weeks. I see the doctor once a week and so far things are going good. Melanee, you look so cute. Keep taking pictures. You will be happy you did!!

Shelley - I recently met a woman in my OB's office who'd given birth to triplets at 36 weeks, so you may very well have six more weeks.... And incidentally, I was blown away by how great she looked. She' d given birth about six weeks earlier and barely looked like she'd given birth to one baby, let alone three. Just thought you'd like to know that you can and will look like your old self again!

Amy, you'll look great in a bikini with your baby bump. I wasn't pregnant in the right season for that. But this weekend will be my first experience in a pool in almost two years - I guess I might want to make sure my suit still fits!

Thank You so much for all of the kind comments, I want to believe my bump is the babies growing in there but its not really firm like I would expect a pregnant tummy to feel like....it could just be the extra weight I gained with the IVF drugs....or maybe all of the crazy amounts of food I have been INHALING for the last month. My husband used to always eat his dinner and then eat the last part of mine, now before he is even done with his I am completely finished with mine and licking my lips watching him eat his!! HE thinks its hilarious because I have never been a huge eater but Boy, has that changed!! I agree too everyone looks so beautiful and I would love to see EVERYONE get their pics up here....after everything we have all been through to get to this point we should be so proud to show off our growing bumps!! (even if it is just the pounds you gained with all the medicines like mine tee hee..) Although I can say that it has started to get a little more round lately so maybe they are starting to fill out a little more!
