it is overtaking me!

I look at these pictures and wonder how my colleagues haven't figured it out yet. Do they just think I've been gaining lots of weight?

This is where we started. The little pokey thing is the buckle on my pants. The pants that haven't fit me for 3 weeks.

At 11 weeks exactly, this is where we are now:

Clearly, I'm going to get bigger. But isn't this a little ridiculous for something the size of a lime? Also, 3 pounds gained! So where is the rest coming from?

It has been 4 days since that picture, and I swear, it is even bigger. I'm going to have to break down and tell work tomorrow or Monday. Wish me luck!

Your "after" picture is about how I remember looking "before" and pretty much how I look now.

I'm surprised no one has said anything. Maybe they figure that they don't want to hurt your feelings. You know, she's really been hitting the chocolate! LOL

You look great! You have popped, but you're still tiny so I'm with maribeth in that nobody wants to ask b/c they will feel bad if you were not pregnant.

Congratulations, again! Your belly is adorable!

You are stunning!!!

When I was pg, we took a pic on the same day every month, I think we used the 18th, which was my due date...then we printed them and lay them all out on a table next to each other, truly fascinating.

Make sure you take lots of pics, such a special time in your life, and of course, everyone will crack up at the sight of you growing and growing and growing...heh heh.

You look amazing! So healthy. Thanks for sharing the photos with us. :)

Good luck with telling work...

You do look absolutely amazing! Radiant already. Such a pretty mom-to-be.

I'm not surprised people haven't said anything you are really quite petite and if anyone has noticed anhything at all they probably aren't thinking pregnancy....maybe something along the lines of "Yay, the skinny one is finally starting to look like the rest of us!"......sure, WE know that you are pregnant so WE can see it plain as day....but people are generally kinda self-absorbed that way, ya know? (not all though, just most)

Anyway, so happy for you and Josh. I've been reading awhile now and feel like I've gotten to know a bit more about you, that and I feel that we have a bit in common professionally, personally, etc...

So happy to see a good thing happen to a wonderful person!

Have a good weekend!

I love these pictures. You will be amazed in a few months when you think "How did I even FEEL that?"

I also did the once a month picture - with it going down to 2 weeks then once a week for the last month. Emily LOVES seeing those pictures of me

Aww, just look at your cute little baby belly. :)

You are such a cute little pregnant lady! Besides the three pounds of placenta, extra fluid and extra blood vessels, your growing uterus causes your other organs to shift around so that there is more showing in the front than just baby. Did you know that your heart actually enlarges when you're pregnant to handle the higher blood capacity? Cool, huh?

Looking good there! I hope that the big announcement is met with all the appropriate reactions.

Just found your site and am curious if this is your third child? If it is, I had three...

Your site is really cute. Nice design.
MotherPie Cheers.

You look wonderful. It's fun to have a pictoral record of the belly as it grows -- keep taking pictures (for yourself if nothing else!)

Good luck if you tell work this week. ;-)

You look wonderful! I only took 2 belly pics this last pregnancy. I should have taken more.

You are beautiful!

Kris said...

Darn it! I meant to post a comment on this last week and must have gotten sidetracked.

Maybe it's twins! *ducking*

Ugh, maybe that's why I decided not to leave a message. :)

You look fantastic! Yes it grows huge but somehow we survive it and carry on with life.

I'm so glad that you're feeling better. I can really relate to loving food after the morning sickness phase!

Thank you for all your lovely comments! You are very very sweet.

No twins! I heard one heartbeat, saw one baby on the ultrasound! I would have been ecstatic though.
