Belly Pic AW from a 2nd time mom
Just thought it would be really funny to show you guys the difference between a 1st and 2nd pg. And yes I'm AW'ing by not posting this in the Hump Day thread 
This is me today, almost 15 weeks, up 6 lb
And this is me pg with DS, 19 weeks, up 6 lb
I still think I'm not quite as big yet, even though I'm up the same amount of pounds, but at 15 weeks with DS I was not showing at all, at least not to strangers anyway. The best part is this is how I look at work today, and no one has said anything to me! It's SO obvious! They just have to know. But I can hide it when I want to in regular clothes.

Re: Belly Pic AW from a 2nd time mom
I regret not taking pictures last time - I feel like I can barely remember what I looked like pregnant, let alone from week to week. There are a few candid shots of me from events, but I didn't actively do belly shots. But I feel about the same size, although this time last pregnancy I had definitely gained more weight. My 1st trimester was all about carbs, and this time I'm keeping it a bit more balanced and definitely more active (hard not to be, with a 14 month old!).
You look great!
I only have about 4 real belly pics from my first pg, and I regret not having more too. This 19 week pic was actually my first, other than the one I took at 8 weeks for comparison. I'm going to try to get more this time. I'm not sure why I've gained more weight this time, because I've actually been more sick. But maybe that's why, I've been eating more crap b/c it's all I can stomach.
Go ahead! I'm having fun with the comparisons today. I weighed just a few pounds more (pre-pg) than I did before I got pg with DS, but only like 5 lb. That 19 week pic I have is the first I took, so I don't have much to go off of yet. I'm definitely showing sooner though, time will only tell if I'm bigger or smaller overall.
I went back and looked at the belly pics from DS yesterday and realized I wore the exact same shirt for 16 weeks!! It was St.Patricks day this year and like the only green shirt I could find:) I gained a lot in 1st tri with DS because I was so sick and had to eat all.the.time. My boobs were so much bigger at this point before!!
16 weeks with DS
16 weeks this time around
I wanna play!!!
20 weeks with ds:
15 weeks with this one:
Since you have already been hi-jacked, I looked back just for fun
16 weeks with this pregnancy - no weight gain yet
19 weeks with DS - I think I had gained about 3 pounds by then. Until looking at this picture I didn't realize how differently I am putting on the tummy this time ... and way bigger!
I wish I could find my comparison picture, but here is me at 15 weeks now. (Note: I didn't look this big with DS until about 21 weeks.) I am still down 20 lbs too.
