I can't wait! I already have a belly being overweight so it will probably be a while before I look pregnant.Emily @ablanket2keephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10398858102692984237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4125165466190100857.post-27651044308673309312012-05-03T11:16:22.218-07:002012-05-03T11:16:22.218-07:00I haven't lost any weight during my first trim...I haven't lost any weight during my first trimester, but neither did I gain much (a bare 2 pounds, by now up to 4 pounds). I started out a bit overweight, so I do have a belly - which is starting to simulate a baby bump and making me look a couple of weeks further along than I actually am ;-) Also, I haven't been able to wear my regular jeans since week 13 because they simply got uncomfortable.<br /><br />Yet despite the differences: I'm totally with you on this!<br />I can't wait to finally have a real baby bump, one that will make this miracle more real, that I will be happy and proud to show (as opposed to the flab bump, which screams to be hidden).<br />Yay for our coming baby bumps!<br /><br />And it's really, really good to hear/read you sounding so positive :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4125165466190100857.post-48917212621637898412012-05-03T10:38:10.192-07:002012-05-03T10:38:10.192-07:00I loved my pregnant self!

I was finally comfortable showing my stomach off instead of trying to hide it to make it look smaller than it was. <br /><br />Now that I've had my baby though...I'm back to where I was before I was pregnant. Self concious. Although, I have to say that my boobs do look amazing right now, so that's a plus :)Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16504470796308296750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4125165466190100857.post-34255431967177921082012-05-02T21:50:10.073-07:002012-05-02T21:50:10.073-07:00My body issues extend only as far as I felt terrib...My body issues extend only as far as I felt terrible when wearing non-maternity clothes now that I'm showing. I feel like, I want to show off this bump so people know it's a BUMP and not that I'm gaining weight. That's the hard part, is being in that middle stage, when it really doesn't look like a bump no matter how nice people are trying to be (ha!).<br /><br />With singles sometimes with your first maintained pregnancy apparently it can take people a pretty long time to start showing. :/ You might not really start having a bump until like 18 weeks. But then you will have a really amazing and cute little round bump :D :Drobinhttp://polycysticinside.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4125165466190100857.post-76599281492134281472012-05-02T20:15:11.739-07:002012-05-02T20:15:11.739-07:00OMG..

I am not showing at all. Like zero. <br /><br />I know our time is coming and soon we will be complaining about having a huge tummy to maneuver around. I can't wait. :)Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09220077347464981586noreply@blogger.com
