23 weeks

By the time I was 23 weeks pregnant I was measuring 35 weeks for a single baby also known as a "singleton". I was getting bigger and bigger by the day and becoming more and more uncomfortable. I felt useless at work, I basically slept ate and went to work.
Now that I was noticeably pregnant people started to get curious.

 If you've been pregnant you know exactly what I'm talking about. People stop and ask when your baby is due and if your having a boy or girl! These questions are a given when your pregnant and most people don't have an issue answering the. Its a very special time in your life I mean your growing a human show it off!!!

Now when people would ask me these question and I would tell them I'm not due for another 4 months, when it looked like I was due in 4 weeks they would say awe twins? "actually triplets!" The look of horror and shock would turn into omg how exciting for most people. For others the horror never left there face. It was very amusing to see all the reactions!

Anyway if you have even twins you know the questions get very personal. Multiple babies are fascinating to people and I know they mean well but some of the questions and comments really catch you by surprise.
For example "are these natrual"? can I ask what's a "natural baby to you". No I didn't use any fertility meds but if I had would these babies be unnatural? Another one is "I'm so sorry your life is over"! Actually I'm only 22 so I have much more life ahead of me, now I'll just have 4 beautiful boys to enjoy it with! My all time favorite " was this planned?" Let me anewer that with a question, how can we plan three babies? Even if someone was to take fertility medication you can't plan three, your hoping for at least one.

Being pregnant with three babies was quite the experience. I met people who were over the moon for me and people who didn't really think much of it. My favorite was when ladies would talk to my belly, someone even rubbed and kissed it while I was working!!!

These are some pictures of the babies ultrasound and my belly at 23 weeks!
