Whatever it is...it's hard to suck it in.

Some days my belly is bigger than others. So, unless my kumquat-sized baby is doing an impression of a puffer fish, I have to believe that it's mostly gas and bloating.

Sigh. I wish I really had a baby bump. Instead I just have a very slow intestinal tract.

Either way, it's hard to suck it in sometimes! Today, for instance, I arrived at work wearing a very loose dress (patterned, which seems to help) and I could still look down and see a little somethin' there. Ack! Even though it is just bloat, I am still pregnant, and I'm still not ready to let everyone know. So I'm trying very hard to slouch and suck in my gut.

Come on, Week 13...I need you. Sometimes I just can't suck hard enough.

  1. Hahahaha! I'm only laughing because I read the last line (and I teach middle school, so cut me some slack!). Once school starts, the time will fly by. You'll be so busy and suddenly Week 13 will be here, and you'll wonder where the time went. Hang in there friend!

  2. Oh, believe me, I ONLY wrote that last line because I too teach middle school. Only we can think of lines that raunchy and apply it (with such aplomb) to seemingly normal proclamations.

  3. I am right there with you! I am pulling on my shirts whenever they start to cling or inch up and can't feel comfortable in anything. I have a pouch that just looks like a little pot belly.

    My only solace is that my babes are close to limes and there are two...but still. Pouch.

  4. I know it is different for everyone, but I looked basically like I'd suddenly just become much fatter and was not pregnant till probably my 18th/19th week of pregnancy.

  5. LOL with the sucking hard. :)

    You're getting closer all the time. I'm sure it isn't as noticeable for others as it is for you. Can't wait until you don't suck anymore!
