Big Baby Belly

Well I'm breaking down and doing it. I decided to finally post a picture because this morning I put maternity pants on, boooo! I've also decided I really need to go maternity clothes shopping soon! The few clothes I had from Chels' pregnancy are just not going to cut it. So yes, I put the pants on this morning but soon after I went and took them off, hehe. I also thought I'd post a picture because last night Jacob finally said he noticed some rounding of the belly. I was so relieved!!! I've noticed the rounding for weeks now but he didn't so I thought to myself, "Do I always look this fat?" Maybe, hopefully, it was just so gradual that he didn't notice at first.
If you're looking at this I just ask you to remember two things. First: this is my second pregnancy and women show a lot sooner in subsequant pregnancies. Second: I was no skinny mama when I was preggo the first time. I got big...really big! I only gained about 25 lbs. but my belly got HUGE. So either it's because I'm only 5' 3" and there's no where to store the baby or it's because I just have the big baby belly genes, who knows!
I just can't wait for the bump to get a little bigger so people will stop looking at me like I'm putting on some extra lbs. Jacob and I were talking last night about how everything in this pregnancy seems to be happening so much sooner then it did with Chels. I have started showing sooner and felt him/her move sooner. It's all really exciting! It is also depressing though when I see other people who are due sooner then I am and they are smaller then me. Oh well, at least there is a healthy baby in there, that's all I care about right now!!!

PS- The title of the post is what Chels calls my, or any, baby belly, haha!

yeah!!! im so glad that you posted a picture! you look fantastic and NOT fatty. but i feel your pain as ive already gotten puffy/bloated way sooner with this pregnancy and feel like im going to be putting on a lot more poundage this time around!
wish i was closer to you so we could complain together about gas, heart burn, and not being able to get comfy when sleeping! ahh, the joys of being knocked up.
