This is me at 17 weeks, in the bathroom at work, taking a quick pic in case someone would enter the bathroom & catch me. I think I'm plateauing in the "spare tire" phase just a little. I'm well into maternity pants (and loving it) but not much of a bump to speak of.
In other baby news/updates, we are likely buying some furniture this weekend! I think ideally we'd wait until we know the gender to choose, BUT the NC Tax Free weekend is this coming weekend and well... we're thinking gender neutral anyway (so no white, basically). And who among us would choose to pay taxes if you could avoid them by shopping on a certain weekend? Anyone? Yeah, me too.
And we find out next week! If you haven't yet voted, please do :) I was a little surprised at how heavily the poll was skewing toward boy, but it seems to have evened out a little. We don't care, as long as it's healthy (smug face).*

I did not get a belly until about 22-23 weeks ... and even then I was in the "is she fat or just pregnant" phase. I really started to look pregnant around 26-27 weeks. I don't want to sound preachy here, but enjoy your body now w/ a little belly, b/c afterwards ... boy do things shift and change around!
There you go with Meredith's comment - more validation to have your shower at 28 wks :) I think it means that your abs are just so taut that your uterus can't stretch them enough for you to show. That's what you get for being in shape when you get pregnant.
Yep, you're just in such good shape that your abs don't want to give way to the full-on pregnant belly. :) Don't worry, you'll feel like you're hauling around a bowling ball in your uterus soon enough!
