This young man is tired and hot after a long day at the office. It's good to sit down, but the seats on the subway are still pretty uncomfortable when you're carrying a baby that big.

Greg was 43 weeks along and beyond ready to birth his twins. He wasn't able to move around much thanks to the sheer size of his massive belly. He insisted on a natural birth, so induction was out of the question - but he was beginning to regret that decision.

To cheer him up, Greg's friends threw him an authentic luau for his baby shower at the last minute. The group sat him down in the middle of the action so he didn't have to move around much. His friends knew Greg loved being the center of attention.

Fortunately for Greg, the party was a success. Not only did it cheer him up, it kick-started his labor about an hour after the party ended. Unfortunately for Greg, his two 15-pound sons weren't eager to make their appearance. But after two days of excruciating labor and eight hours of intense pushing, his two boys finally made their grand entrance.

These three guys are working hard in the summer heat to harvest the crop of massive, ripe watermelons. Ironically, the same words can be used to describe the baby bellies these guys have grown over the past nine months.

Noah did his best to keep his body in good shape during his pregnancy. He's lifting weights more than ever, and is using his pregnancy as an opportunity to take in more calories and add some bulk to his muscles.

Mission accomplished. His muscles are bigger than ever . . . but his belly looks like it's going to burst.

He never thought his pregnancy would bulge out to the sides so far. That's because his baby is sitting crosswise in his belly. If his son doesn't turn head down in the next three weeks, Noah's headed for a c-section.

As a consolation prize, his friends and teammates can't take their hands off his massive belly -- and the endless free belly rubs Noah receives from them are a nice side benefit.

After graduating high school, Arturo spent his first year working in his dad's bakery. He also spent a lot of time working his boyfriend.

Now ten days overdue, Marcello just felt his first real contraction. It's time for the bun (or in his case, the entire loaf) to come out of the oven.

These two devastatingly handsome college football players couldn't keep their muscular bodies off each other. In about six more weeks, their new not-so-little linebacker is due to arrive.

Army rangers need to stay in shape - no excuses. The hardest-core rangers take advantage of their massive pregnancies. They enjoy the chance to build extra arm strength.

Here you see them doing triceps dips in the exercise yard with all their extra baby-belly weight. These guys are hurrying because their babies have dropped ... so labor is definitely imminent.

This linebacker enjoys putting his big hands on his soldier-daddy's baby belly to check on his son's growth. He's barely seven months along, so he has a lot of growing yet to do.

A dad works in a hardware store. It's "take your child to work day" so he brought in his twins. Technically, he brought his other set of twins to work as well, unborn as of yet.

He never thought he'd be a dad to four kids in less than two years.

To celebrate Easter, this young dad took his ten-month-old toddler to the park for an Easter egg hunt. It's good they both got some exercise -- especially the dad, who has three more weeks before that big baby is born.

Poor guy. He's twelve days overdue with giant twins and no signs of labor. His doctor won't even consider any intervention until he passes day fourteen. Unfortunately for him, even walking around is becoming impossible now, so he's forced to sit and wait.

He's pretty well convinced that his doctor secretly enjoys seeing him suffer.

This dad enjoys a beautiful day on the road in his convertible with the top down. He realizes these days are numbered. In just a day or two, that belly will prevent him from fitting behind the steering wheel.

These grandmas simply adore their hunky grandsons. They can't keep their hands off them! The grandmas love to take every opportunity to feel their swollen bellies for any signs of kicks or rolls.

Throughout their pregnancies, the grandmas surrounded their grandsons with all the sweets and treats they could eat. Like all good grandmas, they wanted to do whatever they could to help them grow big, healthy babies.

Based on the look of each grandson's belly, I'd say the grandmas get an A+.

Dad is helping his son color some Easter eggs with the other kids. Dad's belly is so big, there's barely any room left for dad to sit behind him on the bench.

Here's a young dad who is spending a pleasant spring day with his son, coloring Easter eggs at an egg hunt in the park. It's a welcome distraction from the thought of the impending birth of his son's 14+ pound sibling.

These dads-to-be catch a quick nap during a layover at the airport. They are exhausted after a grueling tour of duty overseas and are returning home for paternity leave. And just in time ... their due dates all arrive in the next few days.
