I just hit 14 weeks and yesterday I was taking pictures for my little sister's prom. I'm still trying to wear my "normal" jeans and an extender, but I didn't wear a long enough shirt and while i was taking pictures you could see my panties since I couldn't zip my pants up all the way- made everyone giggle. They don't get the pregnant struggle lol.
I'm at the dealership buying my first "mom car". It's time to say goodbye to my flashy red coupe. RIP. But also RIP to not being able to get in my car because someone parked too close!!
Aw it’s a milestone. We got our Honda CR-V a Monty before dd was born. I miss my 98 Subaru rusted out wagon. Mostly I miss the lack of car payment. I don’t miss the lack of AC and the back doors that only opened from the inside. Yeah, that would have been a death trap...
Ugh my belly button is officially like flat with the rest of my stomach and almost an outie already. I may just be weird, but having an outie was definitely one of my least favorite parts of pregnancy last time. For some reason it just totally creeps me out. Not happy to hit this milestone already, since it was definitely much later last time!
@pumpkinpancake oh no! I fear the outie as well!!! I feel like thats a great hashtag... lol. #feartheoutie ... Also that dark line, linea nigra... I am dreading that... when does that start to happen? FTM here.
@linssears4 I think I got my linea nigra around 6 or 7 months? And sorry to tell you, but my DD is 15 months and it just went away about a month or two ago. I've heard that it doesnt really go away until you are done nursing and we nursed until February so it was true for me.
@linssears4 not everyone gets a linea nigra (I never did, and was the size of a house with my twins), but it usually shows up around the beginning of second tri.
Yes, I've been getting more belly hair, too. Definitely darker. I'm having a boy so I'm worried all the testosterone will make me even hairier. When my sister was pregnant with her son, one day her husband went to pull a long black hair off her shoulder thinking it was just a shed hair, and then says "nope that's attached to you!".
I shave my happy trail rather frequently and have since like 8th grade.. so i cant say ive noticed it get darker since it kind of has been for a while now. But! I have noticed that my recurring chin hair hasn't come back and I plucked it about a month ago so that's cool!!
Weird, my linea negra from DS faded to super super light pretty fast. And we nursed until just a few weeks ago. Now it's darkening back up again.
And my belly button never popped out. It got flat, like it was close to popping, but never did. Hoping it doesn't this time either. But it's already getting flatter much earlier, so we'll see.
@mancheno Im having a boy and I’ve been worried about getting super hairy too! I definitely have more belly fuzz but it’s very light blonde. (I’m a ginger so fx it at least stays light even if it turns into a forest.) I HATE body hair so someone please tell me the extra hair is temporary!!
My achievement is I've kept running for longer in this pregnancy then I have in either of my other two - I ran my quarter marathon this past weekend, and I'm stupidly thinking of signing up for a 10k in early June. I've already registered for a 5K in three weeks (that I'll have to push 80lbs of kid and stroller in). I look at myself some days and think I've totally lost my mind...

That's awesome! I couldn't exercise at all with my daughter but this pregnancy I've kept up with my daily run/walks (because somedays Momma just doesn't have the energy for a run) and I've done a 5k and 10k so far. I keep telling people that boy pregnancies are the funk!
Is running not super uncomfortable for you?? I constantly feel like I have to pee whenever I run for like a minute, and it's so uncomfortable having everything slam down on my bladder. And that was like 4 weeks ago, so I can't imagine how it is now. Go you!!
@jemmerjams not yet thankfully! I'm afraid if I stop it will be though, so that's my biggest motivation to keep going. I figure I'll probably need a support belt at some point, but if that's all it takes bring it on! Honestly, I think my abs are in much better shape this time around because I've been consistently running, so I wonder if that helps?

This right here is why I ended up buying maternity pants this weekend (15w tomorrow). I sat down in a meeting last week and could feel my panties showing so I decided that was not an appropriate look for work.
finally ordered some maternity clothes, FTM at 16W, and while I still don't feel like I have a "bump" (really it looks more like just bloat), all the work pants have given up on me this past week. Looking forward to stretchy comfort!!!
@eireyes that’s awesome! I’ve been trying to keep up running too. I’ve definitely dropped mileage and speed but it feels good to still be out there. Are you running with added ankle support? My ob recommended doing that because of looser ligaments but it makes my ankles so sweaty.
First time struggling to shave my bikini area for our trip tomorrow! Lots of pushing the bump out of the way! Probably doesn't help I haven't shaved in months - just trimmed!

Re: Pregnancy achievement: unlocked!
I was also going to look into some slip on shoes today. I know it's only a matter of time before I won't be able to tie my shoes.
Edit to add: I'm not a blonde. Just have light brown (head) hair and even lighter brown body hair lol.

Edit for bump jumping my cursor around and screwing up my text.
I officially look pregnant -a random stranger congratulated me today.
