    I already had a maternity suit, but was afraid it wouldn't fit come the summer months. I ended up getting a plus-sized suit...got a 2XL that is a bit big on me, so I figure it gives me some "growing room" as well. You'd never know it wasn't a maternity suit either!

    I bought a bikini top, maternity bikini bottoms and shorts, forget trying to squeeze the belly into a regular top. I do have a tankini I bought from another surro here that might fit for awhile.

    Kohls had some cute capris for the warmer months. I hate having to buy all these clothes but nothing I owned would fit me now

    I'm so petite up top I'm afraid that I would just be swallowed in something like that (even though it would fit the belly lol)

    I wish I could do the two piece. It would be the only time in my adult life I've worn one (not even as a teen). The white stretch marks are starting to grow into red ones. ~sigh~ I did buy a groupon for a spray tan. I'm just waiting for it to warm back up a little more to see if the spray tan can make the stretch marks not looks so bad But I'm thinking I'll be stuck in a one piece.

    I just refuse to buy online. I haaaaaave to try it on!

    Mine are still white but very much there. I don't plan on letting anyone see me in except family.

    Can we spray tan while pregnant? I'm so pale, especially on my belly.

    Yeah, it's just a dye that sits on the skin. It doesn't get into our system. Just don't breathe in the nasty stuff lol.

    Omg you are so adorable! And narrow! I'm sure you can't even tell from behind that you're carrying a couple extra passengers!

    Thanks! I can always tell because I'm normally super hourglass shaped so the belly fills in the curves so I'm more straight up and down but I think most people wouldn't be able to tell and that's always a bonus!

    Hehe, I have those pregnant or not No clue where I'm sitting at right now but normally a 30DDD. I don't think there's the slightest chance at all that I could squeeze into a 30 at the moment though! Even my old 36 band size bras I've been wearing feel tighter than normal.

    Holy bacon. How is that side view even possible? I told you you were going to explode. I bet you don't even look preggo from the back.

    And 30DDD? I am a 34B when my milk comes in, otherwise I'm an A. Officially hating you and your adorableness and your big boobies.

    The boobies are fantastic. I went from a 34 barely B (yes they carry a 'barely B' at Target) to a 34D by 9 weeks pregnant. I made the lady at VS measure me twice. When she said it was D I called her a liar then did a happy dance.

    Twins do seem to make your boobs twice as nice..... After being pregnant more than once I was used to some growth but I've gotten an extra cup size with the extra baby lol. It does tend to make the baby belly look a little more proportionate.

    Can you post your last belly pic? I can't find it. I'm about the same size as you pre pregnancy, and I need to see what I'll look like next month, haha.

    Oh wow, maybe I shouldn't have looked at those. Though, I do have a longer torso and shorter legs and asian surro babies so maybe I won't get quite that big?

    BUT, you do look great in those pics! Just very large.
