Does this body make me look fat?

14 weeks today! I'm still not really showing but my pants have definitely started to feel tighter. I've been monitoring my weight gain and I am spot on for the lower range of healthy weight gain based on my starting weight and height so that's a relief but I feel like I've put on about 10-15 pounds versus the 4 I've actually gained. (Don't get used to this number revealing. I'll probably be more sensitive about it later.) I don't think it's really noticeable to anyone around me but Joe and I have definitely started to notice that my stomach isn't lying as flat as it once did. I can't really play the "stand tall and suck in your gut" game at all. My stomach just laughs and mocks me.

I think I'll be able to stay in my regular pants for awhile, and I have a few pairs that are a size or two larger that will hold me for a bit, so that's nice. But- the day is coming. I can't deny it much longer. Soon, the pants will not fit. Bye bye pants.

One more week until our next sonogram! I can't wait to get another look at the baby and see how much s/he has grown! It's going to be a very different picture this time. LB will have more than doubled in that time and I want Joe to see him/her wiggling around on the screen. I'm also impatiently awaiting feeling some movement from LB. I know it might be awhile, over a month even, but I'm hoping for some earlier detection.
