Still no real belly for me :/ 'bout the same as last week... only slightly more bump'ish. Happy I can still wear my clothes but was hoping for a belly by surprise time for my Grandma. With only 2 weeks between now and then, I don't think it's gonna happen. I can manufacture one by wearing maternity pants and pulling the stretchy part way up to round out my belly but it's not the real deal.
To be honest BG, you look about like I do at 25 weeks with a singleton, so from my perspective, I don't think you are huge. I think you look normal and beautiful.
Two girls and one boy, due October 16
I do carry big tho Bg, so I don't think your undersized for a twin pregnancy, I just think your normal, like all the different sized and shaped bellies are normal. I feel like I have just really popped out this week. I was feeling my fundus yesterday evening and it already measures just two finger widths below my belly button, so I suspect I will carry large again this time around. :)

I wish I had a cute bump. With all my pregnancies, I have a tiny bump but get wide. People always says it's because I'm having girls but it's more my body type and where I tend to gain weight.
I've been working out (safely) for an hour most days to hopefully counteract that. I don't want flabby arms with my maxi dresses this summer since I'm sure that's all I'll wear!

BG you look awesome! I'm almost as big as you and only have one on board... and I'm not as far along. lol!
How is everyone else doing? I'm oddly going from bursts of energy where I have to binge clean and organize for baby and total exhaustion other days. And I'm eating everything in sight. Or, I'd like to. Trying to hang on to some portion control.
Our anatomy scan is Monday. I can't wait! I'm taking my 6 year old with me, so I'm just praying everything looks fine. I don't want to lose it in front of him. But he's so excited to see his baby sister.
I always carry straight out like a ball and from behind don't look pregnant. I've maintained a defined waist in the past all throughout also.
I have the same issue with my energy. It's either there in abundance or not at all. I'm having a hard time doing things though. It's painful to lean forward or bend over, which makes cleaning and picking up difficult. I'd kill for some real time to myself to sleep in, not have to worry about any cooking or cleaning, and be able to do whatever I want. I want to make some clithes and cloth diapers for the twins, leotards for DD, finish DD's quilt and a few other projects, etc. There's no chance of that ever happening, but I can dream. At this point I think I'd count myself lucky if my husband was actually home to help out once in awhile.
I typically gain weight in my lower body but with my 2 boys pregnancies it wasn't too bad. From the first week with this one my butt got bigger and lumper. I'm gaining more weight in my bottom half. I thought it too was just how I gained weight and am older this time but my mom told me that happened with me and not my brother. I do think girl hormones play a little part in it.Quote:

But it'll all be worth it :) I'm looking forward to the surge of energy YOU have lol.
I sooo wish I could gain some weight in my hind quarters! I don't have much cushion back there to start with since losing a ton a weight. Now, I am losing even more weight and I have next to NO cushion and sitting (even on some cushioned surfaces) can be quite uncomfortable. Never thought I'd WISH for a BIGGER hiney hahahahahahaha.Quote:
