16w+5d

I was reading some pregnancy thing awhile ago and it said to start taking weekly pictures of your growing belly. So that is what I'm going to try to do. At first I thought weekly was too often, but we'll just have to see how it goes (and sorry if you get sick of belly pics).
I was surprised after I took these pictures this morning, I didn't think I was showing that much. I feel like it's more of a pregnant belly now than just chub. And Lindsay told me on Monday that my belly was starting to get rounder and more of the pregnant shape. I appreciated her telling me that because we were talking the other week and I had told her that it just feels fat and had been wondering when it was going to get round and cute.
I'm not really trying to cover it up anymore.
It's a lot harder than it looks to take pictures of yourself like this. I couldn't really stand or smile naturally, hopefully I'll get better with practice!
There have been a pair of pants, shorts, and capris that I couldn't button up within the last week; kinda sad. But I can still button my 4 most favorite pairs of jeans, so that's good!

Have you done the rubberband/hair elastic trick yet?? That made my pants/capris last quite a bit longer!!

Ummm... so, apparently I need to read your blog more often!!! I had no freakin' idea you were pregnant! Congrats Meliss!!!! I'm gonna have to keep looking now!

I was also going to say, if/when you need maternity pants, Ross is the best place I have found. They have them for $13! I just bought 2 pairs for $23. One was on clearance for $9!! They are actually pretty cute considering. And they only have the small band instead of the one that goes clear over your belly and up to your boobs! I like the shorter ones way better! Maybe you already knew all this but I just thought I would share just in case. They actually have a decent maternity "section" there too.

Congrats! I found out your were pregnant by Alexas post on facebook - it's funny the things you found out on facebook. You look cute pregnant. I just thought I would tell you that my friend Kellye found these cool buttons that you can put on your pants to make them be bigger or smaller. They are perfect for when you are prego. Check it out on her blog under mine or Angela's. Kellye Ward and it was a post awhile ago. She gave me one and they are awesome!
