Okay so I have a question....how come when you are in the early months/weeks of pregnancy you belly area gets bigger. I mean technically the baby is located just above the pubic bone....it is way down there, so shouldn't that be the area that is getting bigger. I know that in second and subsequent pregnancies you tend to get larger faster....but seriously, I wasn't this big with Logan until about week 20. I am still in that "Oh! She's put on some weight." stage, and it probably wont go away for another month or two...GRRRR I have a wedding to go to this weekend, another wedding next weekend, a baby shower the weekend after that, and then the next weekend is mother's day weekend which we annually spend at the beach...
(side note...can I just say that I love JR's family...we always celebrate together, and I ust really enjoy being in the company of people who actually like seeing each other and spending time together. Growing up we didn't celebrate holidays like Mother's Day or Father's Day or Easter. We really only celebrate Thanksgiving, Christmas and birthdays....and really birthdays were only celebrated if my mom was in the mood. I guess that is why I am the way I am at holidays...for example...Halloween...I love taking my son around the neighborhood (not our neighborhood) but I haven't gone trick or treating since I was 8 or 9....after that my mom always said we were too old for that. Easter...I haven't hunted easter eggs since about the same time for the same reason...and when it comes to birthdays, I am happy with a card and dinner! The point is I am glad that I get to raise my children differently....I am glad that I married someone that grew up in the complete opposite fashion, so that our kids can enjoy holidays.........off the soap box)
As much as I had hoped that I wouldn't get so big so fast, now I am wishing that I would just hurry up and look pregnant. Anyone who has ever been pregnant knows what I am talking about....You start off with your normal body....then you start to get this "baby bump". It's so cute and exciting....AND THEN....you dont look magically pregnant, all of a sudden you look like you've put on about 10 lbs, which lasts for a couple of months, and then finally you get the bump you've been waiting for....this is usually followed by an incredible growth spurt and then you wonder why you can no longer shave your legs, tie your shoes, or see your feet for that matter! This is an incredible process, and as much as you will probably hear me complain !!!! I LOVE IT! I have gone two days without vomiting YEA! the nausea is still there....but no where near as bad as usual. I will post my 12 week picture sometime today or tomorrow....I keep forgetting! Or maybe I am just not ready for everyone to see the LARGE growth spurt of my belly!

I can imagine that when your uterus starts to grow, it pushes your other organs out of the way. That might be why the bump is so big. Plus, it is your 2nd pregnancy. I totally know what you mean about that in between stage. I felt permanently bloated and I looked like it too. I think I'm getting to that stage where you can't do as much. I can still see my feet if I lean forward though!
