For a limited time only, and ONLY because Jess said I don't look exactly like a beached whale, I present to you, a belly shot. Of me, even. But it's not staying up here for long. I wish I could password protect just one post. Actually, I think there might be a way to do so. And if there is, and I can figure it out, I'll leave the post up, but otherwise, I'll pull the post down in a few days, so get it while you can. I am trusting all of you to lie to me as convincingly as Jess did or to say nothing at all, because, after all, if you can't say something nice… you shouldn't say anything at all! š
So here it is, me at 27 weeks. DO NOT LAUGH AT THE BEACHED WHALE! (Actually, I'm even standing up, since I was about to head downstairs for the night)
Anywhozit, when I look in the mirror, I think I look pregnant, not just fat. But when I look at pictures like this, I think it just looks like a big blob of fat, but such is life. There you have it.

You are beautiful!! What a wonderful picture š
I think you look great!!
I said it before, and I’ll say it again, you look amazing. I love that you had the chutzpah to post that, even before the aforementioned editing we had spoken about… And truthfully, I was going to send it back to you as it was. Just as a joke, and act like I had Photoshopped it. š I’m funny like that… You’re radiant girlie… So for right now, I get to be the cute one, you get to be the radiant one, okay? okay. š
You look clearly and obviously pregnant. Not at all whale-like =)

Hi! I am new to your blog…I have 3 month old twins. I carried them to 39 weeks for my sceduled c-section. I measured 48/49 weeks pregnant. They weighed 6.12 and 7.12. I was huge. People stared, and whispered behind their hands. Now I think it is funny and I wish I had taken more pictures. But at the time I was too uncomfortable to appreciate the extra attention from strangers! You look great to me! I am rooting for you to have nice big healthy babies.
Karen you look wonderful! I can tell you’ve lost weight – your face has thinned out alot. Your mind still thinks your heavy but your really just pregnant with triples! I’m proud of you for being brave enough to post your picture!
You look fabulous–don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Including yourself!

I have just read your whole blog, and yes it did take me a couple of days š It was so nice to end my reading thus far with a photo of you. You are beautiful, with a gorgeous smile and such a precious baby belly. I will keep checking back and am wishing you many babies stay in there vibes.
Hooray for the picture! It is always so nice to have a face with the blog:) You are gorgeous. Wear that belly proudly mama!
no way! you look beautifully pregnant – you definitely don’t look like a blob of fat!

Looking GREAT!That belly is amazing! Mine wasn’t nearly that well-shaped.but you probably FEEL like a beached whale anyway… I certainly did, and I only had one in there.
I hope I look as good as you at 27 weeks!

What a fabulous picture!
You look amazing!
Yeah, so I was all prepared to have to formulate some grand ol’ lie about how un-whale like you actually are and then I saw the picture and immediately felt incredibly bitter at how amazing you look. You’re carrying triplets for cripe’s sake! I mean really. If anyone has an excuse to look less than stellar it would be you.And yet, despite the incessant contractions and discomfort I can only imagine, you are standing there with a radiant smile on your face looking not unlike what I looked like full term with only singleton. Only you look much happier than I ever did at that size.Wow. I’m in awe. You really do look remarkable.Beautiful!

I do agree with all the ideas you’ve presented for
your post. They’re really convincing and can certainly work.
Nonetheless, the posts are very brief for starters.
May just you please extend them a little from subsequent time?
Thanks for the post.
Very nice post. I simply stumbled upon your blog and wanted
to say that I’ve really loved browsing your weblog posts.
After all I’ll be subscribing for your rss feed and I am hoping you write again soon!
