Thanks so much for posting about people commenting on your "pregnancy." Yesterday, I left the house for the first non-doctor visit time since having my daughter a week ago. I felt human and even put on a jacket. And the clerk at the burrito place asked me when I was due. I said, "I just had her" and pointed to the carseat, which strikes me as kind of funny now, like I delivered while I was waiting for my veggie nachos.

Oh my god, thank you so much for that belly picture. I`m 14 weeks post-c-section and for real all I can fit into is maternity clothes. I was beginning to think it was just me.

What a lovely pic with your Nana! I am far away from my siblings and family, and it just made me tear up. And perfect moments totaly make me cry.
I gave birth on 12/25, and was just told yesterday that I looked so cute with 'that big baby bellay!' Uh. Yeah. Thanks.

Just saw you made it to #1 and I had to check it out. I love your honesty because I think that we are all feeling this way whether we are 1 month PP or 2 years. I will be visiting your blog again. You had me at "vadge". However, I always imagined it as "vag". It made me laugh anyway! Thanks.

hahaha, oh LORD, that picture. But I feel you on the house hunting! Only, I'm job hunting--but it's the same thing.

Happy hunting, lady!

2012-01-05T21:18:52.542-08:00

I did not have twins. I had an itty bitty 6 pound boy, 3 days before you had the beauties. I still FEEL PREGNANT, and fuck all if I don't still look it. You clearly have far better manners and are generally a better person than I am, because three days ago when someone dared to ask me when I was due, I blatantly and wildly gestured to the car seat in the shopping cart containing my now babbling infant and shouted "ARE YOU FRIGGIN BLIND?!" at them.

Thanks for keeping it real, Rebecca! Heehee.

I love that picture of your grandmother. She looks so overflowing with joy! And Boh and Rev are so cute--just taking it all in.

2012-01-05T07:26:38.908-08:00

It sounds cruel, but I'm happy to see I"m not the only one post-twins that still looks pregnant. ;) 2 years later-eeps! I've come to the conclusion a tummy tuck might be the only thing that saves me, but since it's not covered by our medical..that's not happening. And who would want to go through recovery from ANOTHER abdominal surgery??? not me!

I don't even know where to start. I just found...

2012-01-04T19:28:58.898-08:00

I don't even know where to start.
I just found you, and now I love you. Is that awkward???

We just watched Beginners last night and my soul is still stinging from it, my eyes still seeing one image after another, my heart still twinging with a mix of melancholy and love.

Oh and gracious...after #1 was born I got asked all.the.time. when I was due. And then with #2 the classic "Are you having TWINS????" And then with #3 "You must be due any day now..." when I have 4 months left. Thanks folks. Thanks.

Good day, thanks for sharing!

2012-01-04T16:50:52.710-08:00

I come by here all the time and usually don't comment. But I just had to say (although all your pics are gorgeous) the 3rd one with your Nana on the steps holding the twins and laughing with all the little ones around her brought happy tears to my eyes. THAT is such a beautiful pic...

I know a couple other comments were similar. I'm sorry..not trying to grab them...but it really was a beautiful pic

2012-01-04T15:24:41.137-08:00

The look on your Nana's face filled my heart. Sheer joy. I kinda want to tack it up over my desk.

(and after only two kids, not twins, and um, my youngest is 4, your belly looks like mine after an enchilada.)

2012-01-04T15:20:01.613-08:00

We just got back from a 900 mile one way trip to Texas for a family Christmas. There were 21 at various tables, and I actually introduced myself to someone as "I'm your wife's cousin's wife".

Great pictures. Love your honesty and humor. Found you through Babble.com.

2012-01-04T14:01:50.589-08:00

Oh, Rebecca, you make me laugh! Where I scan through many of the blogs I read, I always slowly relish yours. You're such a talented writer, and your photos are so honest
Thanks for being you!
p.s. You Nana looks so cool. I feel like we could be great friends.

2012-01-04T11:40:20.726-08:00

I'm 6 weeks postpartum with twins, and have had quite a few people say the same to me! I was at my local CVS last week, and the guy who hit on me all summer (to my surprise, as I was HUGELY pregnant with twins) forgot who I was and said "I didn't know you had a bun in the oven". He walked away before I could say "Yes you did. You knew I had two buns in my oven I saw you all summer long as I was buying heartburn and hemorrhoid medications". Thank you for posting the picture of your belly, neither of us are alone!

2012-01-04T11:20:06.018-08:00

omg, I had soooo many of those moments post the birth of the twins. From a crazy (really) woman at Georgetown Hospital telling me that the twins in their car seats (waiting w. me for hubby to drive up) that they weren't mine b/c I was still pregnant, to a woman asking me if she could help me with the twins (3 mos later) because, poor dear, I was expecting too. DON'T DESPAIR!! The belly goes away (I do have some twin skin) and I am thinner than pre-twins, it does take time but the body is an AMAZING thing. Love your writing and the pics of your beautiful family. Happy New Year! Lisa

You are uber fantastic! I am gearing towards having kids in the next year and yours is my favorite blog to read to get prepared for what I'm in for. Thank you for your honesty, your candor, and your sense of humor. It is cherished over here!

It could be worse. Your 8 and 4 YO kids could have bought you a maternity dress for Christmas....just as you're entering perimenopause.

Yep. I'm never gonna let them forget that one.
