Well I figured you all might be curious to see how the pregnancy is doing with my body. Its not a pretty sight. LOL....Of course I have to keep remembering that I am pregnant and that I am supposed to get big, but dang didn't think it would be this soon. I have two photos. The first one with the gray sweats on was taken in my 6th week of pregnancy and the one with me in my yellow shorts is me in my 8th week. I am now in my 9th week and haven't taken a picture yet. I figured I would do one every two weeks. Anyhow, want to have a vote on whether there is twins in that big ol' belly? LOL Leigh

Thanks Alpha!!! You are so sweet... mjshepherd...LOL triplets..might have to hurt you on that one...ROFL...Yeah...only 31 weeks to go...Boy that is a long time... I am due December 7th. A early Christmas present. That is what I am telling my daughter..That Santa is bringing her a baby sister/brother for Christmas...LOL...She don't care who brings it as long as they do. She is very excited about this. Can't wait to see her expressions when the baby starts moving and she can feel it. I am not sure I will be able to get that feeling on film, but I sure am going to try. Thank you guys so much. Leigh

You are beautiful....and courageous, and wonderful to share yourself with us like this....this brings back so many memories...I used to lay in bed at night with Chelsea, and do these exercises where I would gently touch my tummy where I could feel a limb. I read this book on doing so, and it said eventually the fetus may try to touch or respond to the movement not by jerking away but by actually touching. In about my seventh month she touched back, and I almost flew out of the bed like a rocket it shocked me so much. Good luck lady, Syyd
