I never got all that big with either kid up til the last couple weeks (if even then.) Caleb especially spread out so much that even up through the eighth month most people who didn't know me well thought I'd just gained weight. Up until I went on maternity leave I really didn't show any signs of being pregnant, unless you knew me. My first day of maternity leave, my feet swelled up twice their normal size and stayed that way. The weekend after that, Mother's Day, Darren had a work buddy who got married and we went to the wedding. I did dress up (wore slacks and a top,) but the only shoes I could get on my feet were my sneakers with the laces out and even those were tight. I spent half the time we were at the wedding telling people I really don't normally dress like that but I was pregnant and my feet were swollen. We still get together with this couple ever so often, Darren plays poker with the husband and ever so often we socialize. Anyways, several years after Caleb was born, we'd gone over to their house for some bbq or something and I was commenting on how nice the wedding picture they had hung up was. She told me months after the wedding, she'd gotten some pictures developed and their was one of me and Darren and her and her hubby sat perplexed for the longest time over my choice of shoes before it finally dawned on them that I had been pregnant and probably had huge feet and had no choice. My belly was so, well not small, but spread out that I really didn't look pregnant, even three weeks before Caleb was born. I showed earlier with Kota but not much earlier. For a while, I figured it was because I wasn't teeny tiny. Then my sis got pregnant. At 5'6 and 98lbs pre-pregnancy weight, she didn't have much of a belly either until the very end. At least with the first one, lol. The next two by 3-4 months she was noticibly showing.

War at the moment my belly is at least as big as Kidman's - if not bigger, and I'm NOT preggers (hysterectomy.) I should be the one scowling, not her.

I'm 5'4" and with all 3 of my children hardly looked preggers. They all just sort of nestled up real close to my spine and hid. The were 7-8 pound babies.

Nicole has amazing posture in that pic. It's as if she's been walking around with a book on her head while pregnant

If '60s' are the new '40s', what does that make the '20s'.

There is a new movie coming out where Brad Pitt is 'born' a very old man and progresses from there back to babyhood. The premise looks interesting.

Sounds like like the same premise as Jonathon Winters from "Mork & Mindy".

Re: Paul Newman. I read (sorry no link, it was earlier today) that while his "people" deny he has lung cancer, his best friend supposedly confirmed that he's been undergoing treatment for over a year. I love that he has always been reported to be just a regular guy. I also am so impressed that he and Joanne Woodward have stayed together even though they were both actors. I hope he can stick around for a while longer. He does such good work with his charitable foundation.

I read a book similar to that story titled "The Confessions of Max Tivoli". It was a good book.

I hate to hear that about Paul, he was so damn sexy in "The Long Hot Summer."

Thought I'd post a good picture of Miley! I love her bedroom here. Love it. Says she was inspired by the Viceroy Hotel in Hollywood. (Kids these days.) In this month's In Style magazine.

'Grey's Anatomy' star Heigl won't seek Emmy nomination I've always liked Katherine and her ability to speak her mind; I do wonder if this move is a little self-serving, like she's going to stick it to the show because they gave her crappy material.

Yeah, her ego has gotten a bit too big for her britches. She's constantly biting the hands that feed her. I'm ready for her to go away for a long while.

Ugh.. I don't care for her, either and I read just this week that she makes more per episode than the other women on the show.. puzzling..
