Huge, large thighs, fat face, I don't care! I love my belly!

After taking the hit so many times, we finally dodged the bullet . . . And we're forever grateful. This is a story about parenting our three miracles after unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss.

Our Story. . . So Far
My husband and I endured nine miscarriages as we tried to build our family, becoming part of the 2% of couples who experience recurrent miscarriages. All of our friends had babies, so I used to joke, "It's because I am taking the statistical bullet for you." It stopped being funny, but it made a great blog title.
Through the miracle of IVF/PGD, we were blessed to finally bring our son, William Patrick, into our lives on August 20, 2008. We were then given a second miracle and welcomed our daughter, Emma Grace, on July 17, 2010. And just when we thought we were done, we got even luckier and Andrew Robert joined us on October 11, 2012.

Ohhhh, I'm so jealous!! I want a belly :O(.
You look GORGEOUS and RADIANT, and no, I'm not just saying that ;o).
Congratulations! Amazing how fast time can go by.
I like the side photo too, the b/w one. You look awesome.
Very cute belly! You look awesome.
You are absolutely gorgeous!!! You look a lot like what I had imagined you would too! :)
Your pictures are so sweet! You absolutely radiate happiness. Thanks for sharing!
Love your belly! You look wonderful.
Fun belly shots! Love it!! :)
Given the stupid comments you have gotten lately, I was thinking you had to be twice that big! You still look teeny, pregnant, yes, but just.
Look how stinkin cute you (and baby) are!
Thanks, you guys are so sweet. I will admit, much as I LOVE my baby-belly, the comments have been getting to my self-esteem. Preggers or not, NO ONE wants to hear that their face, thighs, or any area is H-U-G-E!
Without a doubt, one of the most beautiful pregnant women I've ever seen. The nay-sayers are wrong, wrong wrong. You look amazing, girl.
:)
Always good to see belly shots...
Reminds me that I really should take a pic of my rapidly expanding guts.
One of these days. Before term.

You are such a beautiful beautiful woman!!!! The prego belly looks great on you. Its perfect for 18 weeks. Gorgeous!!!!!
You look very cute!
How cute! I love the belly. Congrats!
You look fabulous!
And, while it isn't a contest (or at least not one I recall signing up for), my thighs are, sadly, bigger. My belly seems to have grown very little, with all weight settling in the butt and thigh region. Apparently the people in your life are prone to exaggeration and hyperbole.
aaawww! You're so cute!
Good luck today! I can't wait to hear what the little one is!
Cute pictures. I didn't realize that you hair had gotten that long either. You look beautiful.
You look gorgeous!!! Can't wait to hear if its a boy or a girl in there :)
You look FANTASTIC, and absolutely no part of you looks fat!
Everytime I say something about my fat legs, or fat belly, or whatever, my husband acts shocked and reminds me, "you aren't FAT, you're PREGNANT." LOL
I hope I look half as good when I am 18 weeks!!
Beautiful! :)
You really do look beautiful! You have that pregnancy glow... Congratulations Katie! I am really so very happy for you! :)
very cute! we look to be the same size at 18w! don't you love the belly?
You look beautiful! Love the belly!
You are SO CUTE!!!!!!!
