First public comment!
I've been hoping for awhile that I'm actually showing. Sometimes its hard to resist not patting my belly in public so people know that its babies not beer inside! Though I imagine with where we're living now, there are some people who'll pat their beer. "Good Michelob!" "Aww, that's a good Budweiser!"
As were leaving our local Walmart the other night, an elderly black employee checked our receipt, and said, "And when is your family getting here?" When we told him our twins were due in November, he gave us a huge smile like we had just given him a present.
He then told us that he grew up in a family of 20 (!) (his father married twice), and he had two sets of twin brothers. As we left, he told me to keep being careful, and I assured him I would.
I read about so many rude pregnancy comments (especially pregnancy with twin comments), so I was really pleased that my first comment was so kind.

from one pregnant person to another - I hear you! It's nice to be past that looking fat, can't fit into regular clothes OR maternity clothes stage. People are finally certain enough that I am pregnant to ask me. And wow, twins. Congratulations!
