April 2012 Moms

there is no way I am hiding this bump for 2 more months!

I know it is my 3rd baby, 5th pregnancy, but SHEESH! I popped like crazy from week 4 to week 5! I went shopping yesterday for a dress and seriously could not find anything I liked or anything I could wear that would hide my bump.  There were some cute dresses that I would totally wear if I didn't care that my bump showed but still wanted to keep it a secret.  The plan was to announce it at DS's 1st Birthday party and DD's 10th (joint celebration) on October 30th ( I will be 14 weeks) which is my 32nd birthday....unless I lock myself in my house and nobody sees me, it is not happening.  I started showing early w/DS and it is true for each pg that you show sooner...I know it is bloat now, but wow! Two people asked me today if I was pg and one yesterday...I played it off and said I am still losing the weight from DS.

I guess once we see the baby and hear the heartbeat I will feel better about people knowing and not being able to hide it.  Not that I don't want to shout it from the rooftops or anything :)  I am sure you all can relate.

 

PS on a side note got some really great news that friends of ours are expecting twins! They struggle w/IF and went through IVF! They are the sweetest couple....so super happy for them!

  • Eep!!  Some of it might come down because of bloat...but you may be stuck sister.  Move those announcement dates up :)

    Yeah...I doubt it.  I looked 5 months pregnant at 11 weeks last time...I just had a huge belly the whole pregnancy.  Everyone though I was having twins! Although I did have a 9lb 6 oz baby.

  • Even if I had a wicked bump, there is no way I could keep a secret until 14 weeks. GL with that!

  • We've already told everyone we wanted too but you are right about the more pregnancies the quicker you show. All of my clothes are already getting tighter and I have the lovely muffin top that I did not have two weeks ago and I know im not eating more. GL but I don't think you will be able to hold out until 14 weeks unless you wear all flowy tops.

  • I didn't think the bloat would hit this early, but I woke up this morning and got dressed for church, the whole time thinking "already?!?!". The BeBand has made it's appearance and I don't think it is going anywhere. I didn't look like this until at least 8 weeks with DS, and this bloat is much higher this time. Last time I looked like I had a beer gut, but I guess at least this one I could pass off as an actual bump instead of pure bloat.

  • Huh, this is my 2nd and I'm not even wearing my BeBand yet. I had pulled it out by 6 weeks last time. Of course by the time I go to bed at night I look like I'm about 7 months pregnant, but my pants still fit the same. Weird.
