Acknowledging that it's there!

Ryan and I have mentiond a number of times that neither of us think I'm really showing at all. Obviously I have plenty of time to grow, but being a pregnant woman, I'm assuming it's normal to WANT a little belly! To want something that says 'look I'm pregnant'!

Obviously something's growing since I had to buy maternity pants, but my weight loss/maintenance and only SLIGHTLY bulging stomach makes me want to scream "GROW BABY!!"

Today however, I was all giddy when I got my first acknowledgment of a belly. I was talking to one of the ladies in my office (face on too! not even from the side!) and she said "you're getting a little belly!" I was all excited and started smiling.

Of course I was on my way to the bathroom and decided while I was there I'd inspect myself in the mirror. I agree that there's a little something there, but honestly it looks more like I'm just putting on weight (that's normal I suppose). The average person who doesn't know me would probably just assume it's a pudgey stomach. But still! The fact that someone noticed a change is always exciting!
