me at 22 weeks

 yeah? see i heard it was mostly for letting you wear your pre-pregnancy pants longer. but that isn't an issue for me. since i don't have that full bump. there's a cut in my waist so i can still wear my pants. but some people say it just helps with a nice shape. thats why i would buy it.

hand wa**** good tip. thanks!

I thnk I used it once to hold my pants up in the beginning when I had to open the buttons, but I just wear it right over my bear skin. Right now i'm only wearing sun dresses so I just put it on and it just holds everything in..and it's comfy and not restricting or anything. There are also control top camisoles you can get at walmart that are stretchy but tight in the right places and they suck you in and hold your shape nicely too. I live and die by those as well. I have everyone fooled...trust me...lol.

Yay for a baby bump and feeling your little guy moving! :) Hubby will be able to feel it soon enough. It takes patience sometimes and they just don't have it. For the longest time I would have my hubby feel for the baby and he'd give up right before our son kicked him.

Baby (and you) will definitely be growing a bunch over the next few weeks. Hope you have a super cute belly in time for your shower :) Glad everything is going well!

 thanks! my u/s tech told me with your first baby it takes longer to show. ppl who are having their 2nd or 3rd show a lot quicker.so i can't compare myself to others.  but i'm looking forward to the next month. i'm hoping there will be definite changes. looking obviously pregnant, my husband being able to feel the kicking, other ppl being able to feel the baby and not just my stomach. lol.

Wow!  I can't believe you are already in the 23rd week!!  You look great.  I agree with the belly band too... works great and it's great for post partum.  You can wear it over the maternity pants to hold them up when they are too loose but regular pants are too tight!

Glad things are going well for you!!!!!

Aww you look great!!!  I also used the belly band and it worked great for me....infact i felt naked without it.  I started using it around 20wks and i put it under my full panel pants so nobody ever knew it was there.  I bought mine a target for $16.
