Ruthie always made the pregnancy thing look like a walk in the park. She's tall and athletic so she didn't even 'show' much until she was about 7 months pregnant (though, for some reason she felt the need to wear maternity clothes at about 2 months).
She'd gain exactly 26 pounds while working out the whole time. The day before our first kid was born she swam a mile and then came home and mowed the lawn, I kid you not. She'd lose just about all the weight upon delivery of each 8lb 3oz kid.
Once, she had a 2 week post delivery checkup with her OB doc. He jokingly said, "Ruth, would you mind using the side door? You're depressing people."
