We women are so funny... if we "bump" or show early often times we freak out "OMG, how big am I going to get, isn't it too soon, etc!" If we "bump" late, we are jealous of women who bump early!
Gotta love standards put on women and how, no matter what we are, we can't seem to be just accepting of it in that moment.
I feel like I am already showing, my DH says not so much, I am sure much of that is bloat and I am overweight anyhow, but I definitely notice changes in how I feel, how I look, and how my pants fit. I've been freaking out about how early all these changes are happening, and then I look at my little tiny baby's ultrasound picture and it is suddenly fine... if I show early and get huge.. if I show late and barely grow... in the end all that matters is I have a healthy baby (hopefully) and I am a Mommy!
(Not saying this to "lecture" anyone, reading this just got me to thinking. I have a history of anorexia/bulimia and so am very in tune (and get very upset about) all the standards/crap that women feel they have to live up to... especially the things that have managed to morph over into pregnancy. I don't know when it became "she is so awesome, she is 9 months pregnant and didn't change hardly at all!")
Done now! Please don't take offense to my post.
