So, it has been 9w3d since my last period started. Even though my ultrasound put my dates at 8w tomorrow, I find that I am going to disagree with what the ultrasound said.
Amy measured small from day one (at one point she ws measuring 3 weeks behind), despite me knowing exactly when I fell pregnant with her. This time around I know exactly when I fell pregnant, regardless of whether an ultrasound measurement agrees with me. At the end of the day, we have a nice healthy heartbeat and that is all that counts.
I seriously doubt that a pregnancy test that recommended you wait until 19 days after you last had sex to test, would show a positive result a mere 8 days (and if we are going to be picky, it was 7 days, 8 hours) after our last, well, you know.
So, unless otherwise told, I am going to continue to count things by my dates. And by my dates, MY WORD is my belly getting large. Like, REALLY big [here is last week’s photo for comparison. I didn’t realise how huge I looked until I saw last weeks photo]
Sure, most of that is probably water and intestines and stuff, but hell, I am as big here (I took this this afternoon) as I was at 20 weeks last time! AND the photo was taken when all I had been able to stomach was some apple sauce for the entire day. Oy.
So yes, the little one continues to grow and I continue to feel sick and exhausted and incredibly happy to have finally gotten here.
No way… that must be Nathan’s cooking…

you need a big fart? I have a tilted uterus so always carried ‘out front’ but wasn’t that big till at least 14-16 weeks!

Amy stretched the home so it probably fills up easily with amniotic fluid and baby 🙂

I didn’t show with my first until about 14 weeks… but with my second, I was huge from the beginning, like you. Glad to see your bump is getting to be a mountain 🙂

That is definitely pretty durn big for 9weeks. My midwife has no faith in ultrasounds, she didn’t even want me to get one. She goes by a combination of the menstrual cycle and what the mom thinks the EDD is. By my cycle my EDD should be 9/25, but I know myself, and I know that’s way too soon. So she adjusted it to 10/1, and oddly enough that’s what I’m measuring for now. 😛

Are you sure there was only ONE heartbeat on the monitor? Although I don’t think you look unbelievably big, if you did have twins, I think this is the time when you’d suddenly start growing doubletime.
Then again, that’s what I thought when I was huge at around 10 weeks, and I was just huge! 😉
But also…sorry if you take offense because I don’t mean to call you huge! You just have a beautiful baby bump is all, no matter how big or small it is compared to your last go-round. =)
Thanks for the picture!

I found that with my second pregnancy, I went to bed one night with a flat stomach and woke up in the morning with a definite baby bump. YOurs looks very cute!
You’re looking good!! Actually, now that I’ve had my sixth I’m a little bigger than you and I’m not pregnant. I can’t even suck in my gut, my tummy muscles are so shot.
I’d disagree with the sonogram as well! But I’m just so pleased things are going so great!!

That bump certainly is big…checks behind you to confirm that, yes, Amy’s pillow is STILL ON THE BED………….I find myself agreeing with Marilyn, you’re so slim that any extra baby weight will show immediately.
Yay for baby bump! It probably looks so big because you’re so tiny! Girl, even pregnant you are still smaller then me!

Dawns last blog post..From the Archives – Routine
Excellent bump! I was much bigger with the second. I was showing by 10 weeks (so much for waiting 3 months before you tell anyone). By the end of my pregnancy (1 month before I gave birth) I had a diameter of 4 feet (about 1.2 metres)! If you like, I’ll post a pic of it – it was quite awesome.
