@islandmonkey8 - that's crazy I'm only 6 weeks and I feel like my blump is your size!

The blump comes and goes. Mine will be bigger this afternoon! But, I have this extra bump that DH and I can see by my hips that NEVER goes away. So I figure, I might get a real bump soon. Actually, I kinda hope for it. This in-between - is she pregnant? is she putting on the lbs? - is very frustrating!

Everyone is different though. You look great!
You might be feeling like this for a while!! I felt like I was in between damn near until my a/s!! I still felt like I could just look like I had the flabby lower ab pooch so many other women do.

BFP #1: 11/9/13; spontaneous m/c at 6w2d, 11/25/13
@islandmonkey8 I had a bunch of extra chub, so it wasn't until 3 weeks ago that a server joked about serving me a beer. That was the first time anyone assumed I was pg instead of just a fan of cheesecake.
I bet it won't be nearly that long for you!

@lindsayandjamie Did you and your H decide whether or not you're going to find out the sex?
We are compromising. Tomorrow we will not be finding out the sex during the a/s. We'll be getting the tech to write it down for us, and next week we'll be opening it up to find out. We move into our new house next week and next Thursday is our 15th anniversary of our first date, so we are going celebrate with a little one on one reveal I am getting anxious to shop and decorate so I don't want to wait until the birth anymore.
