For those who thought Naiomi is cutting it close having a baby shower so close to her due date, I respect your views, but believe it or not, 11 years ago I had my baby shower the day before my daughter was born. It wasn’t planned that way, but danged if my daughter had her own plans with her emergency c-section entrance. LOL Quite honestly she had one heck of a traumatic entrance, was transferred to another hospital. Spent a total of two weeks in the hospital at birth. The past 11 years haven’t changed much in terms of things being on her terms and not ours. She really keeps us on our toes. But truthfully I wouldn’t have it any other way. (Longtime lurker, first time poster–Great blog!!)

She is still pretty but HUGEEEE,iam due in 4 days and this is my 3rd but i never been that big and the baby already had about 8.5 lbs last time my OB/Gyn checked her..maybe she is really going to have more than 1??!!

Who held the shower for her?

Just because she seems to be “big” doesn’t necessarily mean she has gestational diabetes for goodness sake. She looks larger because she wasn’t a large woman in size to begin with. I also suspect that if she were carrying twins it would be all over the media. She’s just at that end stage of pregnancy where she looks large because of the position of the baby. And it’s miserable being that far along in the summer in the heat. Been there, done that twice with two almost ten pounders.

Great scott! For the sake of her hips (pain wise) I hope she gives birth soon!

My sister didn’t get that big with twins. She’s giant! That would be so painful.

I’m due August 22nd and my belly looks about the same size as hers. She’s small framed as I am and all belly. I feel for her because people have been thinking I was due about 3 months ago too.

My due date is August 2nd as well and my belly hasn’t dropped either. Baby’s still sitting high up. My daughter was the same and I had a nice uncomplicated birth. A friend of mine was also about as thin as a rail, (not much bigger than Nicole Richie) before she was pregnant, but her pregnant belly was GINORMOUS! She ended up with a 9 lb baby girl, not really a big deal. She just carried very, *very*, large. After she had the baby she was like Keri Russell, you’d never know the girl was ever pregnant. No two women experience the same things during pregnancy. There is no way that she would be due Aug. 2nd with triplets, she would be on bed rest and multiples are always preterm. Twins are almost always born between 36 and 38 weeks and mom is usually on bedrest as well. Remember Marcia Cross? I genuinely believe that she’s just carrying big. It happens. And the diagnosis of gestational diabetes because her belly is large is ridiculous. It really irks me when people try to diagnose a person through a picture.

I got pretty big and was all belly, too. Turns out I had a physical reason for my baby not dropping into my pelvis, which was the reason for my c-section in the end. I carried straight out in front of me and my daughter was only 7 lbs. Anyway, her body might be the same way as mine was.

However, she does look abnormally large in the belly…who knows? I guess we’ll all find out-I think it’s funny how they have kept us all guessing!

Diana, nobody is calling her fat or ugly, just commenting on the sheer size of her belly. She is not big anywhere else, which is why the belly looks even bigger than normal. I personally do not think she’s having twins. I was really big in the belly at the end too, so I sympathize.

However, there’s no doubt that’s going to be one giant baby. Liev is very tall and for all we know he was an 11lb baby, so she could be in for a big one. I only brought up GD, because her belly is so giant in comparison to her body, which probably means the baby is bigger than normal. I’m not slamming her at all. I think she’s beautiful and looks great pregnant. She looks much better than I did at 9 months along.
