Anyway, in order to preserve an accurate history, here I am at 25 weeks.
I have a social experiment for any pregnant women. Tell a stranger you are having twins and I would be willing to bet the next comment is something about your size.... It's a strange thing.
Everyone knows, when you are pregnant, there are the standard 3 or 4 questions you get from strangers (checkout people, colleagues that have never talked to you in the 10 years you have worked at the paper, etc. etc.) ... When are you due?, Do you know what you are having?, Have you picked out names?, etc etc etc..... I have found it very amusing that, when carrying twins, you get the second question, what are you having and when people find out you are having twins, they automatically give a judgment on how big/small you are... like, "You are so small for twins.. or "wow, I thought you looked big" and so forth. I find it funny because I NEVER got any comments on my size with Eli and I was huge but now perfect strangers feel it's okay.. I don't care, I just feel like a whale on the inside. I'm glad if I don't look like it:)

Oh, how i do love it. You look beautiful!!
I agree you really do look beautiful. I don't care what other people say about your size but you do look so healthy and I know those girls are being very well cared for. You take care Niki and you are still just glowing. You may feel like a whale on the inside but you really don't look it on the outside, in fact you look really good. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy and I can't wait to hear how it all goes and I can't wait to see your girls.
You are the three best looking girls I've ever seen
I agree with everyone else, you all are beautiful. I know it doesn't feel like it right now but you are!!
You do NOT look like a whale...you look like a healthy, happy person who is about to have sweet babies! And preserving history is important...just think about showing this picture to your girls in ten years! :) You look great and you don't have much longer to go.
LOVE this! who cares what people say... the most important thing is that you and those babies are healthy! it is funny that people feel more free to comment on your size once they find out you are carrying twins. can't wait to meet them!
If I ever get pregnant again, I hope I look half as good as you do now!
Niki, you DON'T look like a whale--not even close! There aren't very many things in this world that are more beautiful than a happy, healthy pregnant woman. (I used to be a labor and delivery nurse, so I've seen a lot of pregnant women!) I used to peek at your blog every so often just to see adorable Eli but now I peek to see pictures of you and the girls, too!
