Pop Pink!! That's actually what that picture was for lol, I posted it in one of the tieks FB groups the other day.

Do you love them? I seriously look at them ALL the time but can't decide if I should pull the trigger since they are so expensive.  It's so hard to find a legitimate review of them.

I freaking love them. I know some who get them and don't get a proper fit so sizing is really important. I have big feet and used to be a solid 9 but I'm more of a 9.5 now (thanks, kids) so I usually size up to a 10 in tieks. I actually just ordered moonstruck yesterday. I kind of fell out of love with them last summer when I moved to Cali and became more of a jeans and hoodie kind of girl whereas I used to wear dresses all the time but now that I'm back to mostly leggings and tunics I'm wayyyyy in love with my tieks again. I have probably 10 pairs of them! Yes, they're expensive, but when I find a high quality product I'm willing to pay the money for it. I don't really buy myself expensive anything else but shoes are important since you wear them everyday haha.

I changed out of my pajamas and robe to take this picture so you can see the bump, but just threw the pajamas on the floor so I could put them right back on. I didn't mean to catch my floor pajamas in the background, but taking a body selfie is hard, and I don't want to redo it

ETA: 12+2 today.

Blump!

I took a non-naked-belly one last night just for y'all! I was only 11w1d so as an FTM I guess this is still just bloat but my stomach has NEVER looked like this in my life (and this was before dinner!).I have gained 7.5 lbs since my BFP on 12/1 which is not great since I was hoping to only gain about 25 total.

livinthesunnylife

Oh @legallykate That whole statistic that the average person gains 25lbs is complete BS.  Put the scale away and leave it away for the next 9 months.

derbysquirrel

@legallykate
I'm in the same boat, I've gained almost 10 pounds in 12 weeks. Your picture reminded me of another annoying pregnancy side effect: putting hair bands on my wrist now interferes with circulation. My wrists got bigger

25 was my OB's rec, I am really only worried about any potential impact on the baby and not my own vanity, my weight has fluctuated across like a 30 pound range for my entire adult life so I am used to it. 

juliebird6

agree with @livinthesunnylife - forget about how much you are gaining.  Eat when you need to, grow your baby, and you will work it off when baby gets here.  It takes time, but your body will go back eventually.  I was really caught up in staying within that 25-35 lb range, and then I was just sooo hungry all the time and gained 50 lbs.  At 11 months pp when I got my BFP, I was 2 lbs away from my pre-pregnancy weight and almost back in all my pre-pregnancy clothes.  Try not to stress yourself out about it too much.

I gained 60 lbs with my son. I didn't really eat like an a hole or anything, just ate. Some people gain more, some gain less. 

livinthesunnylife

Yup, I was in that 50-60 lb range too.  I swear when you talk to STMs, that seems to be the range that everyone says.   When she broke my water, my OB laughed and said, "I think we found the reason you gained so much"

kc0711

This was 11+4 this weekend, I am 12w today. I have the world’s shortest torso (literally like 6 inches from my boobs to my belly button) so I feel like I am going to look really funny pregnant! Working on gaining weight, I lost weight at my last appointment so trying to eat more snacks. 

aj1327

I gained 45 pounds with DS. My ob didn’t say a word to me. I’m a lucky one that can eat like a horse w
and lose weight while BF so by a year I was less than my pre pregnancy weight. Those 5 lbs came back when I warned though. I second what everyone else said. Eat when you’re hungry..,it’ll come off! 

derbysquirrel

@kc0721
I'm with you on the short waist. In a bra I might have 6 inches between boobs and belly button (I just measured: 4.5 in. from top of bellybutton, 5 in. from bottom of bellybutton), and without, maybe 2 inches! I anticipate carrying heavy and showing early. 

marafox

@derbysquirrel Ditto on the short waist!

kc0711

@derbysquirrel I have a feeling the belly will only go out! I’m almost 5’9, so my torso (or lack there of) is super unproportional to my height. My friends call me a human starfish   

dirtanddiamonds

Holding in my shirt because otherwise I had a boob to blump unibump. Lol. So. We are at 12w4d, I believe. Who knows. Sleep deprivation has me all messed up. Lol. 

ecwk

I gained probably 40lbs last time but that was mostly because I ate what I wanted when I wanted. I found it very hard to lose any weight at all until I weaned DS!! I was so hungry 

Excuse the gross work bathroom background! 11 w tomorrow blump. 
@calimom2524 wearing my Tieks today tooo!  

calimom2524

@ecwk I knew I liked you. 

livinthesunnylife

@ecwk Totally agree.  I was not one of those lucky unicorn people where BFing just made the weight fall off.  If I didn't eat enough my supply dropped.  And forget working out with BF boobs, I tried to run once and it hurt so bad I cried.  So lots of stroller walks for miles and miles every day on leave was the only workout I got. 

westphilly

@livinthesunnylife Ugh, yes. Working out with BF boobs was the worst. They were like floppy milk bags. Lots of walking here too. Except DS was born in December, so it was Jan-march in the snowy northeast which was not ideal. I was opposite on the weight loss. I lost fast while BF, but when I weaned, I put it all back on. 

calimom2524

@westphilly me too!! I was out walking every day after having DS2 and dropped the weight hella fast. As soon as he weaned it all came right back. 

dirtanddiamonds

I can’t lose a pound while nursing. And I put on 50ish pounds every damn time. Lol. But. About 6-9 months after weaning I’m back to normal. I usually jump to WW and it helps me lose. 

shri929

@calimom2524 @westphilly same here! Lost the weight fast BFing and was starving then a few LBS creeped back when my son weaned. I was more hungry BFing than pregnant! Here’s my Blump. I think it’d be fun to wear the same outfit every weekly bump pic, let’s see if I can get the laundry done on time

juliebird6

@shri929 Love the color on the walls!

rocknrrollmom

I'm 9 1/2 weeks here. This is the same size bump I had at about 20 weeks last go around lol. I gained about 45-50 pounds. My bump went straight out since I have a long torso and you could only tell I was preggo from the side. I had a hard time losing weight, thanks pcos. I breastfed but the weight stuck on until we weaned. I had just gotten down to my smallest pants before we got the BFP. Within a week, I could not longer wear those

On a good note, my first appointment is finally here. Going on Friday woot woot!

calimom2524

@rocknrollmom do you have purple hair too?!

shri929

@rocknrollmom I’m def popping faster than my first time too! 
@juliebird6 thank you! We just painted them

pghctwife

12 weeks tomorrow. I don’t think much different from last week. Carrying so low for me! My first I basically carried in my boobs - my early bump was weird looking.

and weight gain this time who tf knows. I started at my heaviest of my life thank you miscarriages.

i gained 60-50-40 previously though and the 40 I tried soooo hard to stay in the 25-35 range, worked out a ton and ate carefully. 

This time I feel like crap so I don’t even care

Twinsies! How fun.

@calimom2524 Nice! I'm surprised I have hair at this point from dyeing it so much. Although, I keep picturing you as the blonde from your siggy

Haha definitely not blonde!

@calimom2524 So pretty, I love it!

not showing too much yet, but most of my "normal" clothes are uncomfortable. 13+4

juliebird6

Turns out I was too lazy to change out of all black, so here’s my Addams family blump at 11 weeks. I think a lot of it is actually the buttons on my pants.

hfooter

                                                                   Definite blump. I gained 60lbs with both the boys so I assume it won’t really be any different this time.

I’m supposed to be around 10 weeks tomorrow. I have my first ultrasound on Friday so I’ll finally actually know.
