When Did You Start Bump Pics?

If you took weekly bump pics as a keepsake, when did you start with your multiples? I have a DS and with him it wasn't until 20 weeks, really, there was no point b/c I showed very little until then, but at 13 with twins, I am already measuring 20. Would it be lame to just take pics of my bloat and innards this early, or is that normal for multiples? DH wants to start this week, but I feel silly for starting so early, for some reason.

Me: 37 DH: 40 TTC since 9/09
#1 BFP 1/10/11; missed m/c discovered 7w5d
IF Dx: Endo, hetero MTHFR mutation, poor morphology
#1 IUI: 1/18/12 = BFN
#1 IVF/ICSI 4/2/12 = 2 x 7-cell and 1 x 5-cell transferred (3dt) = BFP!!
H was born at 41w2d on 12/29/12 - be still my heart!
#2 IVF/ICSI 1/19/14 = 2 x 8 cells transferred (3dt) = BFP!! EDD 10/09/14
M&W born at 37 weeks on 9/18/14 - I am the momma of 3 boys!!!

    I started at 13 weeks...However, at 15 weeks, I was really bloated for some reason.  So it looks like I was huge that week!

    BFP: 12/2/13, EDD: 8/17/13

    I'm starting this week! About to be 12 weeks. I have a noticeable bump. I only took selfies in a mirror with DD and regret it, so I bought a chalkboard and will have DH take pics of me in front of it on Fridays (he's out of town during most of the week).

    I took one at 9 weeks thinking I was showing but it was barely anything. 12 weeks was when I really started. I haven't been very consistent with it this time around though.

    I actually took my first one at 3w3d because that happened to be the day I got a positive pregnancy test and it was a Wednesday - all my friends were doing HDBD in one of my groups and I snapped a pic just for fun. I'm glad I have that one, as it is the one where I'm smiling the biggest. You can see the fear in my eyes in every pic past six weeks, lol.

    I started taking them at 5 weeks, a few days after finding out. I didn't actually upload them to FB until we announced around 9 weeks. This is my second pregnancy so I started showing a little bit pretty early.
