My "Bump".

For those of you who know me well, it will be no surprise that it's been painful for me to take and post pictures of my growing belly. I've spent a long time trying to lose weight, get fit, shrink. Over the past year or so, I've not done a great job of staying fit, and now to add insult to injury, no matter what I do, my body is going to get bigger over the next 6 months.

I know, I know. It's for a good cause. I should be happy and excited to see my belly bulging. Of course, I am ecstatic that I am "growing" a healthy baby, and there is a part of me that is looking forward to being visibly pregnant instead of just looking like I ate one too many donuts.

Anyway, here I am in all of my chubby glory. The first picture I took just days after finding out I was pregnant. The second one was taken this morning before I left for work.

4 weeks (July 30th)

13 weeks, 6 days (October 7th)

I was sucking in the best I could in both pictures. Hopefully soon, I will look pregnant instead of just "thick"! :)

P.S. Maybe I'll smile for the next one haha!
