Showing

Yesterday, a far-away friend asked if I was showing yet. I carefully examined my belly, and decided that while I've gained a few pounds, and have had to retire several pairs of trousers, I didn't think that a stranger, even one seeing me naked, would realize that I was pregnant. Fat, yes, but not pregnant.

As if to mock my hubris, today a big belly suddenly popped out. I am now showing. Just like that. Pregnancy is very strange.

that happened to me at six weeks. not kidding. but it seems to have stayed about the same size for weeks. once it popped it was just out there. i wasn't rerady for it then, but i have to admit it is nice when people can see that you're pregnant and start to treat you a little differently.

So cool! It IS strange how it can just change in a day (or during the day!)

Really? There's hope for me yet then.
I'm still feeling just fatter.

argghh those growth sprouts are so disturbing! Believe me you start to show for real at 6 months! But until then, it could look like you have a muffin top...
