When I found out I was pregnant, I was sad thinking how I probably wouldn't show at all most of the pregnancy (although now I kinda feel like it's a blessing--saves me from having to buy new clothes, although I still need some). In all fairness, my mom didn't hardly show for the first five months of her pregnancies (she was skinny with my brother, slightly chubbier with me) so I didn't expect to show much either. That, on top of being plus-size (although there aren't enough belly bump pics of plus-size women, especially early in pregnancy, so I was less sure of how a plus-size woman's body changes) made me doubt I'd show much. Most of my friends have been tiny (5'2"-5'4") and more petite in general. I'm tall-ish (5'7"), bigger boned and I have a semi-long torso, so it would make sense I'm not going to show as fast, even if I was skinny. I simply have more room to hide baby.
Anyway, here are the photos!
We started out taking them with Patrick's phone, but uploading them caused them to come out blurry... so by 20 weeks we realized we should use a real camera and we've been using his camera since then.

| 22 weeks and 6 days (let's just say 23 weeks) |
And finally...

| 24 weeks 1 day |
So basically, this post is a testament to how very little I've changed since the beginning of my pregnancy (at 13 weeks I didn't feel I was showing at all but got pics just because I figured it was silly to wait 'til I started showing and then have no way of guaging how much I've changed). I have changed some, but it's also hard for me to tell how much of it is the clothes I wear on the specific day, etc. Also, William has been measuring a bit big so far, so I suspect he still is and I'm still not showing.
It's also a testament to how screwed up Alabama weather is that I seriously go from jacket to short sleeves to swimming to jackets to sleeveless with jacket (last pic, I took the jacket off as son as I stepped out in the sun).
