 I know! Maybe I can take a pic tonight. I have my 20 u/s tomorrow so it would be a good comparison.

I'm going to post the picture from last time and the new picture I took today for comparison! 

Last time (15 weeks and 4 days) 

Today at 17 weeks 

I can't really tell if I see a big difference or not... My posture is a bit different I think... I feel like my face is getting chubby  I really need to start hitting the gym... or maybe I'm feeling self conscious about my tummy getting bigger? 

[BaileyB]

Kristin Diane - I always feel like I get a pregnant face. I think it might be water though because it seems to go away shortly after birth.

bailey are those pics taken on the same day? had a bit of a tummy bug and i think tummys gone down again, can tell how babys positioned by whether or not i have a bump...

I finally got DH to take a picture of my bump on Monday. I was 19 weeks & 3 days.

I'm a shorty, so my bump pops out really early every time.

Yes! I look way bigger without a shirt over my belly.

Thanks everyone for the feedback.  I did get a pair of jeans a size up last week, just in time for my favorite ones to die (hole in the knee).  Then on Monday it seemed I popped.  Buuuuut I now think it was just water bloat since I wasn't being good about staying hydrated and it seems to have dissapated somewhat, but not before I freaked out and went on a maternity pants buying spree.  I have 3 pairs coming from Carson's that will likely be returned once they get here for being super expensive ($108 for 3 pairs!!!) and especially so since I hit up Goodwill and got a pair of jeans, a black pair, and a khaki pair for $14 then found a brown pinstripe pair on clearance at target for $17.  Not digging the full panel pants as I hate high waisted things (it's like a turtleneck for your stomach and I abhor turtlenecks too) but since I can fold that down they're ok.  What I don't like is how much longer I'm going to need my shirts to be to cover that.  It'll take some of my sweaters out of the running all winter.  Boo.  More money to spend.

Today I feel like I'm still in the 'is she pregnant or just getting fat' phase.  Everyone that I've told that didn't know was surprised and I get asked a lot how far along I am.  I did have one coworker say she suspected.  I should have asked if it was because I looked fat or I was glowing but I think she would have answered honestly...

You all look so cute but I think I'll hold off joining you as long as possible.

I haven't put up a photo for a while because between morning and regular old sickness and boat dissipating my baby shrunk quite a bit. I was feeling a little worried actually, but of course now all is well:) Since my bump is visible again I thought I'd post a couple pics.

This is me at 17 weeks

And this is me at 18 weeks (today!)

[BaileyB]

Omg! I haven't taken a new picture since I just took one earlier this week but OMG do I feel really round. I am starting to have that feeling like the baby is pushing upwards on my stomach and making it harder to eat a lot at once. I guess a lot of what they say about 3rd babies are true!

[jessmn]

alrighty, here I am at 21 weeks. It got lots rounder in the last week! It's getting harder to heave myself around, like in an out of the car, off the couch, or in bed. Sometimes I get a little out of breath. I've been trying not to limit myself because I have so long to go, so I don't want to 'give in' yet. I think I've gained over 20 pounds! Babies are moving around lots, and at an ultrasound on Friday A was kicking B in the head.

haha!! That's awesome! I wish we could have gotten a dvd of the ultrasound because it was pretty funny. I think the tech said at the 28 week appointment we get a dvd, hopefully they'll do some fighting then, too :P

[Mama4life14]

Here's my belly at 18 weeks! I think.. I'm either 18 or 17, gotta double check with my midwife which date I'm supposed to go by. They are very vague about it.. Lol. I like to know which day exactly and they are like.. Meh.. Haha.

[CoBabyMaker]

Mama4life, I switched my due date with my first two pregnancies based on my cycles  It always took me a bit to remember what week i was on too!  You look so cute though!

Here is me at weeks:
