HDBD: ridiculous bloat edition

Eags · May 2017

Obviously no one has a bump yet, but let's show our out of control bloat

Or lack there of!

Eags · May 2017

6w today, but this pick was last night (I kept forgetting to take it, but technically it still counts as 5w!)

missblaze · May 2017

The bloat is REAL.

livingoffpbjs · May 2017

@Eags Where did you get the chalkboard? Its so cute! I need it! haha

mauera07 · May 2017

@Eags & @missblaze you guys are making me so excited for the bump to come back! I can't post a picture like this because I still haven't lost the baby weight from DS. I never stopped looking pregnant

Eags · May 2017

@miranda21037 I made it with my cricut! I'm trying to decide whether to put them on my Etsy shop, but I'm leaning towards it.

I just need to rewrite on it with the chalk so the writing is actually cute!

akingmomma · May 2017

Just bloat. I'm also plus size so it will take a bit for me to show

[Deleted User] · May 2017

I'll participate in a few weeks, but this makes me so excited to have a bump again!

SouthernMs · May 2017

The bloat is so real. I couldn't move my wedding rings on my finger yesterday.

Baby? Or burrito?
Definitely burrito!!!

Eags · May 2017

@PleaseSendPicklesNow I want a burrito now!!

mamakassie2 · May 2017

@akingmomma I feel you on the plus sized. It was so frustrating to not show with my first but now I just feel like I can hide it for longer! Lol

mamakassie2 · May 2017

I hate my body and I know I won't show for months and months, but I have ONE photo of myself (other than at the baby shower) while pregnant with DS, and I don't want to make that mistake again. So even though I will look like I'm just fat until 30 weeks, I'm making the effort this time.

livingoffpbjs · May 2017

@mamakassie2 is there an app to put the "5 weeks baby..." on your pic?

btw, loving everyones leggings ;P I have fox leggings on today

missblaze · May 2017

@miranda21037 I use an app called BabyPics+. It's not free, but it's awesome. It looks similar to what @mamakassie2 uses. Maybe hers is free haha.

[Deleted User] · May 2017

@PleaseSendPicklesNow LLR? Love those leggings!

PleaseSendPicklesNow · May 2017

@Eags I pretty much always want a burrito covered in hot sauce. Especially now!

@schaze Yes! One of the ladies on my last birth month board is a LulaRoe consultant, and she got me hooked. These leggings were a gift from some friends on that BMB. They sent them when I found out I was expecting in February. So sweet of them!!!

rupeam12 · May 2017

I feel like mine is only partial bloat. Mine is mostly what is left over from baby #1 (who is 5, btw).
ETA: apparently the photo didn't upload from my phone earlier...

@eags so cute! I have no idea when to tell our little guy that he's going to be a brother, and we're just over 5 weeks as well. What was your criteria? How old is Charlie?

These are so fun, I can't wait to take mine after work!

mamakassie2 · May 2017

@miranda21037 It's called Baby Story, but it's been crashing for me since my phone was reset a couple days ago. Hopefully it's a glitch they fix before I have to take my next weekly photo!

hwoodmama · May 2017

4w2d. Not even bloat. Simply "3 babies in 4 years and I ate too many tacos after the third". Excuse my crazy hair. It's crazy windy here today!

Eags · May 2017

@huntadventuresociety-2 We pretty much decided to tell DS because he's old enough that he would hear us talking about it. And because I wanted us to be the first ones to tell him (not my mom or grandma who would do it otherwise). DS turned 4 in Jan, so he's 4 yrs 4 months.

hwoodmama · May 2017

@huntadventuresociety-2, With my third we told the kids right away. They were 3 and 2. This time we have a 5 year old, 4 year old, and 18 month old. We aren't telling them until we tell everyone else because they don't understand secret keeping and would totally blow our secret.

hunt_adventure_society · May 2017

@hwoodmama We assumed we'd tell my stepson when we told everyone else, too- he'll be 5 in 2 weeks, but I wasn't sure how we'd explain it if things didn't go as we hope. That said, I keep slipping up and saying things around him and I wonder if he'll catch on earlier than we expected! It's so hard to keep it a secret from him! But yes, he'd tell everyone we meet about it- the checkout clerk, the homeless guy downtown, all his teachers...so maybe it's best to put duct tape on my mouth due to his age. Thank you!

tdevlindrye · May 2017

Bloat, bloat, bloaty, bloat...

tdevlindrye · May 2017

@hwoodmama I love tacos!!! And you look great for three kids!

kris031409 · May 2017

Seriously?! I'm 5 weeks. Not 5 months

sbishop426 · May 2017

When does the bloat end? I don't remember it being this bad before but maybe since this is #2 it's supposed to be worse.

hunt_adventure_society · May 2017

It's all happening!

scatteringashes · May 2017

@akingmomma Plus size buddies here. I started taking photos this time around because I never did with Miles, and I'm looking at my photos like, "Hey, that's just where my food lives."

I'll keep taking them, even if I continue to keep rocking a food baby forever. (Though I still need to do one this week.)

@mamakassie2 I hope I'm not overstepping, but please don't hate your body -- it's carried you through the world and has made wonders!

I was about 300 pounds by the end of my pregnancy with my son, and I had so much loathing that I only have a handful of pregnancy photos as well. I'm glad you're taking photos this time around.

scatteringashes · May 2017

@eags I'm really eager to tell our son for the same reason -- he's 8, very perceptive, and at least once his dad has brought it up when he was in the room without thinking. He's a sassy little thing, and I feel like when he finally tell him, he's gonna say, "Yeah, Mom, I know. Can we stop talking about human babies now?"

SouthernMs · May 2017

I really like those floral shorts, @scatteringashes. And props for the body positive message! I certainly needed to hear it today.

amandat_85 · May 2017

The growing butt is a real thing too lol

britmanering73 · May 2017

SIX WEEKS!

sbishop426 · May 2017

6 weeks and I'm already doing the rubber band trick on my pants because of all this bloat haha.

TInman87 · May 2017

@kris031409 you are my belly twin, I legit look several months prego. This being our first, I can see the confusion on my husbands face every time I walk through the living room unable to suck it in!

EmilyLove25 · May 2017

@kris031409 OMG thank you for your picture. My body is so similar to yours (minus your awesome boobs lol—too much?) and that is how my belly looks today. Like WTF? You make me feel better because you look cute and not ridiculous. Yay.

@hunt_adventure_society OMG you still have ab muscles. Jealous. Mine ran for the hills this week and I want to cry. I worked so hard for those and won’t see them for a few weeks… and then not again until February! Ughhhhh!

@britmanering73 OMG I love your facial expression!

kris031409 · May 2017

TInman87 It's nuts! And DH doesn't want to tell his family until after 1st tri... guess who's all coming over this weekend?! And I always have a drink with MIL. She has no filter, so it should be interesting!

britmanering73 · May 2017

@EmilyLove25 I did not feel like smiling.... super bloated and nauseous. I'm ready to go home lol

missblaze · May 2017

I know some people don't feel comfortable posting pics of themselves or showing their faces, but...

I JUST LOVE SEEING FACES! Helps me get to you all...

hunt_adventure_society · May 2017

@missblaze I'll keep that in mind for the next one!

@EmilyLove25 I have the longest torso- DH is 6'3" and when we sit next to each other, we're the same height!! (I'm 5'10" so this is not the case once we stand up, haha) ...I'm so curious to see how how that means I'll carry, and how INSANELY HUGE the baby is going to be. Apparently my stepson was a 10 pounder, and his mama is shorter than me, so....

But you're two weeks ahead of me, so we'll see what happens in that time!!
