snapped a pic before my run yesterday, so this would be 13 weeks and 5 days.  I can tell I'm thicker, but I don't think it will be obvious to anyone else for a long time.  I'm eating constantly to make sure I have enough fuel for running AND assembling a person, always looking for the most calorie dense food options that aren't complete junk.  I love peanut butter, but the school where I teach is a nut-free school.  I'm stocking my office with popcorn, fig newtons, and fruit cups.

Cactusita, it's such a relief to see your pic!  At 14.5 weeks (also my first) I am actually significantly smaller than I was in my last photo, which wasn't showing a ton anyway... So, basically, I look similar to you (though not as slender overall).  I was a little worried, but read up and realized that it's almost certainly a combination of: A) greatly reduced bloating and constipation over the past week or so and B) MUCH better eating habits and more exercise since my m/s and fatigue tapered off 2-3 weeks ago (so I've lost midsection fat as well).  Phew!

Okay, here's a couple of terrible cell phone pics, but just for posterity...  14.5 weeks:

[scruffy too]

I don't have a picture to share (I'm fluffy anyway) but my work pants have felt tighter this week for sure.  But it's not obviously to any one but me.

13 weeks. Hurray!!!

12 weeks last Friday

Here we are at 13 weeks. I don't know if I am any bigger, but I think I am rounder.

[GranolaMama09]

13 weeks - please excuse the no bra and pjs.  I didn't feel like getting dressed again just to take a picture.  

[withlittlelungs]

14 weeks!

[writermama12]

me too! me too! 14 weeks

[buko]

Too cute!  I'm 16 weeks today, but I am not much bigger than my last photos.  Some-- definitely enough for me/DH to tell-- but not much.

[MPsSweetie]

15 weeks today. I have gotten way bigger over this past week or so. When my afternoon bloat kicks in I look HUGE, lol.

[happylemon]

14 weeks here too. I also look way bigger with the evening bloat! My belly looks really pointy in my pictures! Not sure if it looks like in real life, but my guess it is due to me having no ab muscles anymore.  I had to use the rubber band trick for the first time on my shorts this morning that I just wore a week ago!

Okay I'm finally together enough to join the Belly Thread. This is me yesterday at 15 weeks 4 days. I've been this big for weeks though, bigger sometimes with bloat!

Excuse the indecent apparel......I'm not enjoying clothes much, esp in the evenings.

[GranolaMama09]

Not a thing indecent about it. Most bathing suits show way more!! Lol, I'm with you on the not wanting to wear clothes issue. If none of the children are here and it's just me and DP I usually end up sleeping naked because clothes just make me feel restricted and claustrophobic like.

[withlittlelungs]

SlimP- clothes suck. I am refusing to wear "real" pants for the rest of this pregnancy. If I'm not wearing yoga pants, I will be wearing leggings. 

ps. your bump is adorable!

[GranolaMama09]

As soon as I can get some leggings and a decent handful of maternity dresses and skirts there will be no more jeans!!

I'm almost 17 weeks... Boy have I grown in the past two weeks! I love that I'm starting to "look" pregnant.

[buko]

Okay, here I am at almost 17 weeks (16w5d)...

Definitely a BIT bigger!

[writermama12]

Buko, I see a difference. I bet you'll pop pretty soon!
