Every belly is beautiful - it is fun to compare how everyone grows so differently.

Everyone looks so wonderful. It is amazing how having one or two more babies in their can make a difference. I put a slideshow progression on my blog which is:
Rattray Party of Five Excuse my horrible hair in the last pic - I got my hair cut super short, because who knows when I am going to be able to go back in (uggh!) Also, I agree with Jen - we need some quad mommies on here!

I'm so jealous of all of you! You all have such adorable baby bellies and the rest of your bodies are TINY!!!
I'm only 10 weeks and I swear my butt has grown more than my belly! What's up with that? I've been on the treadmill every day for the last few weeks trying to battle this booty because I'm terrified of what I'll look like in another 10 weeks. lol Keep posting pics girls. I enjoy looking at y'all and wishing I could be that cute.

Wow - I haven't checked in on this thread in a while, but everyone is looking fabulous! I'm already feeling like I'm going to miss my belly when it's gone, what about you girls?
Since I've been remiss about posting updates, the first pics are a little old ... they are 26 week pics from my anniversary weekend getaway with DH. Can you believe I braved a bikini at a hotel pool? Oh well, I don't own a maternity suit, and I wasn't about to buy one for one weekend! The other pic is my 31 week pic. I'm a little bigger, but not a ton. I keep waiting to get that HUGE painful looking belly, but it hasn't happened yet... 26weeks.jpg 26weeks2.jpg 31weeks.jpg

WOW - Kelly you are my new idol. You look fabulous.
Jen - You just have a belly the rest of your body looks small. I am going to be a blimp. I dont know what small is anymore. I have blown up during stimming and it hasnt gone away. Oh well my twins are worth it. Ill worry about it after delivery. At least I am still eating small meals. I thought with twins I would be eating huge meals. I have no room for food.
