What with all the photo-taking over the holidays, I actually have my picture ready to go early this week, so I thought I'd start the string! It's HDBD, so post those bumps!
I have a bump and a question. Here is the bump (please excuse my face,
I am not really photogenic and the bathroom lighting does nothing for
me)
And my question for second (or more) timers is will my tattoo stretch? I know I am lame but I am worried about it getting all gross and weird, partly because my mom will say "I told you so."
ETA: This is me today at 14w-4d, edited to resize.
Here is this morning at 16w5d. I know I'm going to want to switch to covered soon, so did both today. This is my last pair of pre-preg pants, but now that I'm sitting and it's not feeling so good, I think I'm going to change to my maternity jeans.

I think you look great!! No need to apologize I cut my head off this week because it was a terrible pic. And I love your tattoo! I have 2 that I'm wondering about as well - one on my lower back and one above my right hip.

You may have some stretching... but if anything, it's going to (most likely) be on the side of your lotus that is closest to your belly. I have 24 tattoos, but none are on my stomach, just in case of having kids. I have stretch marks/tiger stripes from DS, but they don't go past the pointy part of my hip bones. I wish you luck, though, because that's a very pretty lotus! I have a purple, orange and green lotus on my upper right arm.
I love being on winter break and able to post. This is my first one! I posted this yesterday on TTGP... Here is me at 16 weeks!!! I plan on taking another one for 18 weeks tonight or tomorrow
PS- sorry about cutting off my head, my husband was more worried about fitting in the dog than taking a picture of my face

I guess we are a lotusy group of gals Mine is a lotus crossed with a venus flytrap. Carnivorous plants are some of my favorite plants so it's fitting. Lets hope that neither of ours stretch.

You look so cute as well!! I am jealous of all you 16+ week people and your super cute bumps.
I think the one on your back should be fine. I have a small one on my hip and I didn't even think of that one getting ruined (partly because it's small and I always forget I have it). Luckily my 3rd takes up the better portion of my upper back and I think that one will survive unharmed.
I took a pic last night, but I am at work now so wont be able to post till later. I feel like I have popped a lot in the last week!
But, I wanted to say, about the tattoos...I had one on my lower back when I was pg with my daughter and it did not move an inch. lol Back ones should be fine. The lotus one on your side tho may stretch a bit but it shouldn't be too bad. This is also why I don't have any on my stomach. lol I do plan on getting one down my rib cage after this baby maybe. And I agree, we should do a tattoo post! That would be fun! I love seeing other ppls ink. I have 3 so far and will prob get more.

You all look great! I still don't have much of a bump yet. I guess being 5'10" makes for a long journey for my ute. Maybe next week!
I feel your pain. I'm 5'8" and didn't show with DD until 28 weeks. I didn't get a "stranger comment" until I was seven months!
i so just commented about this very thing a minute ago on another post! with my first son i was 5'8" and wore size 5 pants until my 8th month of pregnancy. i always had to defend me being pregnant everyone was like you arent pregnant your stomach is still flat. but when i did get a belly it came from NO WHERE LOL! This time i think im showing a little sooner but it's not really noticeable. the joys of having a longer torso lol!

I'm 5'10 as well but you can def see mine, i have a very small frame i don't know if that has anything to do with it, but im also more leg then torso maybe.
Everyone looks fabulous! I'm a little jealous of your perfectly round bumps, though. I will try to take a picture of my 15w6d belly in a little bit... I'm still in PJs. lol
Re: Hump Day Bump Day!!

Here I am today. My husband loves my protruding booty!
I'm 5'9" and think I JUST got my bump. All of a sudden when I lay flat my stomach stays round! Exciting
You'll be next!
