I’ve seen both of my parents completely (and I really mean completely) naked more times than I care to admit. And so have some of my friends. Not intentionally, but still… scared for life I’m sure. My mother says clothes restrict her and I have no doubt that if it wasn’t for public indecency laws both of my parents would go to work naked. Till this day I shudder every time I get a “here is a link to the pictures from our vacation!”, because really how do you comment on your parent’s half nude shots? I didn’t even know what to say to my husband today when he ran upstairs and was all:

- Honey, your mother is gardening in her underwear!

- Is she wearing a bra?

-Yes…

- Good.

She wasn’t naked and surely this has added some excitement to otherwise dull Sunday afternoon in our neighborhood.

To say my mother is comfortable talking and discussing all things body… would be an understatement. She calls them as she sees them. So I wasn’t really surprised when within the first 30 minutes of her visit I was informed that I looked way better than expected and I’m mostly a belly… well, maybe my thighs… but that’s ok, cause those were always kind of big… but that’s my father’s genes.

I’m taking that as a compliment… big thighs and all.

    I have always wondered how pregnant women could put jeans on :-) . Everything in your picture looks small, except for the belly of course. I am sure Dennis’s coworkers are enjoying plenty of mother-in-law stories.

    You actually look really tiny (except for the belly). Good luck with your mother’s visit!

    from what I can in those pictures, your belly and body look beautiful!

    As for the naked thing, I do not even want to think of my parents naked. It is traumatizing. Sometimes my dad will walk about in his white briefs – it is not a pretty site although VERY amusing. I’m like, “dad… seriously.. could you maybe put some more clothes on or a robe?” But still… it is amusing.

    You look amazing! The cute belly just emphasizes the fact you’ve got a tiny frame.

    You’ve been messing with our minds, with those earlier photos using that distortion lens thing! ;)

    My parents were never naked, which is almost as wierd… my in-laws… naked a lot. I used to have to warn them when I was coming in to say goodbye.

    Totally hot, not just for a pregnant woman… do we have a baby yet?
