Shoot, I keep trying to upload a photo and it doesn't seem to be working.  I clicked "insert image,"  then "embed image," then "submit."  What am I doing wrong?

This is me at exactly 10 weeks today.

[CoBabyMaker]

PhilsBabyMama, Are you uploading the file?  I click insert image, upload file, choose the file when it pulls them up and then click submit.

It's fun to see the bellies!

On a side note, a little hard to dress mine sometimes right now.  I need maternity pants but unless it's just a fitted tee or tank I think the tops looks silly, yet I need the length to cover the band on the pants.  I was trying to figure out what to wear for a meeting/interview tomorrow at church and it was tricky.  Our church is super casual and normally it doesn't matter but I feel like this is important.  DH was laughing at me texting pictures to my friend.

Resizing the pic seemed to do the trick.  Here's a photo of me from yesterday at exactly 12 weeks.  :)  I've noticed my belly getting bigger for a while, but now it's noticeable to other people, too.  I think it's popping a little earlier this time around.

12 1/2 weeks :)

You can't really see my belly here, but this was our "Facebook Reveal". 11.5 wks

.

[Quinalla]

Love all the new photos, everyone looks so great Berrymama, that is so cute and your kids are adorable!

And I hear you ladies who aren't showing much or at all for your pregnancies, that was definitely me last time. So annoying as it wasn't until I was nearly halfway through that people could tell for sure I was pregnant. One nice thing since I gave birth at 38 weeks and have a long torso, I never got any of those ridiculously scared strangers asking me if I was having twins or overdue or going to go into labor right there. I'm sure I'll get it this time, but since I am having twins, at least I'll have a good, quick explanation! I need to remember to take another photo, probably 12 weeks-ish.

I'm ddc crashing here, but I just had to comment on berrymamas photo. I've seen those t-shirts and really wanted to get one, but I'm only 7 weeks on Halloween. The shirt is adorable, but that photo and the way your boys are beaming and pointing at it is just too much. I know I'm hormonal, but I teared up a little. I bet the Facebook reaction was great!

[lisedea]

Ok, I just have to add our facebook reveal as well....I am 12 weeks tomorrow.

[nstewart]

So cute Berrymama and Lisedea!  Berrymama, your boys are so cute!  Love their costumes, they look really good.

Lisedea, I see you found the triplets shirt!  Did someone custom make it for you?  It looks great!  I love your partner's shirt too!  Nice to have a matching pair.

[adventuregirl]

Oh, I LOVE the pics berrymama and Lisedea! They are both so sweet and awesome!

I will have to take a pic so I can join in on the fun!

[timesway]

It's soda and pizza. She has been complaining about gaining weight since I have to eat double my normal calorie intake (and therefore, she can't help herself )...so it fits well. It took me so long to find that triplet shirt! Definitely not an easy task! Most of the triplet shirts were stupid--so I was glad to have found that one.

[timesway]

hehe thats sweet :)  sounds like a good other parent shirt ;) yeh i can imagine theres an awful lot of tacky versions out on the market!!

[moriahmoonstar]

Hi ladies, I love the bump shots, I want to see more! I actually was just checking out a belly thread for a ddc that is getting close and was so inspised by all the shots starting from the beginning, made me wish i had started earlier, but I'm doing it from here on out. I added pre-prego photos for comparison.

This is my pre-pregnant shot, it was last year and unfortunately I had gained a few pounds, I think I was about 15 lbs heavier when I got pregnant and I lost 10 and have gained one back. I was hoping to have lost weight before conceiving, but oh well.

side view pre-prego as comparision, unfortunately I didn't start taking photos until now :(

I will be 12 weeks in 2 days officially. But my midwife thinks I'm at least a week aheadmaybe 2. So between 12-14 weeks :) I feel like it started to really change and pop the last week.

I took an 8 week and a 12 week (today, yay) but I'm too bashful to put them up yet. For one thing I keep having DH take them first thing in the morning when I'm all gross and bedheady, dur! Love seeing everyone else's! Moriah, I can't make out, what is your tattoo? So colorful.

I understand the feeling, I usually keep my belly and tattoo covered, most people IRL don't even know I have it. It took a lot for me to post it, I'm a bigger lady and wish I didn't feel as self conscious about it, sometimes I feel better than others. After looking at a different belly thread and seeing women of all shapes and sizes and different bellies I felt safer knowing we are all beautiful in our own ways. But I also totally get you not wanting to share, and hope you do what makes you feel comfortable. To be honest this was at night with mascara and lip gloss ;) Not ready to share the morning ones! lol.

Oh my tattoo is a goddess sitting on an orchid, the goddesses head is under my sports bra, I drew it and and got the tattoo 4 years ago.

You look beautiful! Thank you for posting them. And I stole your idea and just went and lurked for like 15 minutes on the Dec 2012 DDC belly thread. SO FUN watching everyone's bumps grow in slow motion.
