21 weeks.
These might not count as belly shots in your world because I didn’t pull up my shirt to show you all my flab and my stretch marks in all of their glory, but it’s as close as it’s going to get for now! Pay no attention to the horrible hair. It’s too short, and the humidity (??? in Denver ???) has made it go all frizztacular.
Behold, the humble belly from the front.
Yes, I know, this could be nothing but the enormous shirt and scary baggy maternity pants (that make me look like I have some sort of strange rear appendage, FYI). Maybe there’s no baby in there at all…
But wait!
Here we have Krista and Small Monster from the side:
Fat though I am, I can promise you that that bulge under my chest wasn’t there before. Nope, that’s all baby and/or smooshed organs. Clearly there’s a baby and/or tumor in there somewhere 
Maybe I’ll get braver about these pictures as I get bigger – I haven’t shown my stomach on purpose since I was about 6, so…

Maternity jeans give everyone saggy-butt syndrome. They build those things as though the baby is growing in your glutes!
But the pics are great!
You look so happy! Yeah!
I agree with Karen- you look very happy and very proud of that baby belly in the second picture.
It’s the first time in my life that I’ve had a belly that I wasn’t constantly trying to suck in (not that I could suck this one in if I wanted to)!
You’re both right though – I’m very, very happy
Sarah:
Thanks! I’ll try to do it more regularly
And I’ll take maternity-pants-butt (is that like helmet hair?) in exchange for being able to be publicly happy about the belly *grin*
Growing baby in the glutes… ugh… now there’s a thought
Not like I don’t have the room for one somewhere on my big old Mix-A-Lot backside, but… ugh
