Monday morning I woke up to a noticeably larger belly. Overnight, it turned from bloated pouch to bulbous belly. It just so happened that I had started a project with some ribbon to track my belly size over the pregnancy last weekend. So I was able to compare size objectively using my ribbon. Almost 2 inches. Overnight. Amazing.
This really excites me because I feel like I’m looking pregnant now. People who know me and knew my size before the pregnancy notice the difference. I was really getting scared that the baby wasn’t growing. But my larger belly helps reassure me that it is indeed growing. Sometimes I look at my belly just to make sure it’s still there. Yep, baby still in belly – thumbs up. As though it would fall out without me noticing, stupid I know.
