me at 22 weeks

 


I'm 23 weeks today. this is from last week. i feel a bump under my belly button. but it looks like he's pushing everything else up above my belly button. so i have this big stomach but the baby isn't in there. lol. its misleading. ppl will pet my belly and i feel weird bc he's not there, he's lower. as you can tell i still have the B shape :( still waiting for that D shape. My panni is big and flat. i feel like i'm just gonna get wide and never pop out in front. lol. but my face is getting fat! at 5 months its scary. how fat will it be by 9?? yikes!

but i feel him move and kick now and last week i actually felt him kick from the outside! my husband still can't feel it. i'm hoping this week he'll be able to. he really feels left out.

my baby shower is next month. i really hope to be big belly showin by then!!

Awww very cute! When I was preggo with my son I didn't really pop til around 25 weeks, then all the "twin" comments started coming lol! I did get the "D" but not until 28wks or so....but the belly band really helps, i LOVED it!!!! Can't wait to see pics from your baby shower!

 well its good to know i don't have too long to go to get the shape i want. belly band huh? i'll have to look into that. you know i don't even wear maternity clothes yet bc they just accentuate the B shape and its no bueno. i'm waiting to be nice and round so i can look good in maternity wear.

thanks!! :)

The belly band is from motherhood and does wonderfully in helping make a D shape. I wore it over my FULL panel maternity pants....it's the only way to go or it will most definitely make the B more apparent. Good luck! Oh and I think the belly band was only 16$ so it won't break the bank

 thank you!! 

Do a before and after with a belly band and you will see a big difference

And your most welcome!

I second the belly band, you can also get them at Target.  It will definitely make you look nice and "round"!  But, I think you look great either way!  Definitely looking obviously pregnant.  With my first pregnancy, I was about 28 weeks when it started to look super obvious that I was pregnant (rather than just fat).  I'm sure you'll have a great belly in time for your shower!

Well, I think you look cute! It doesn't look B shaped to me.

 well the B is a bit hidden under my pants. lol. its actually not too bad. but i wish the bump went further down. bc the baby is under my belly button right now. eventually when he gets bigger it'll fill out and connect. 

but thank you :)

For some reason I can't see your pic, but I with the ladies on the belly band. It does wonders and I won't leave home without it. I get lots of compliments on my bump and have been since about week 20...haha, if these people only knew what I looked like without it! Oh well, it's my secret!
I got mine at Walmart for $8.
I had bought a more expensive one for $23 at a maternity store and washed it and it lost its elasticity and came apart..now I hand wash the one from Walmart and it's still as good as new!
