The past weeks have flown by without me documenting my growing girth so here are a few random shots. They're all I have for weeks 20 and 21.

You can kinda see the expansion in this one...which could of course it could be due to that massive piece of
Cream puff cake that I'm shoveling down but that's hardly the point. And ps. you should make this recipe. It's delicious!
People keep telling me that I'm showing but they tack "but surely you haven't gained any weight!" I am here to tell you that that is garbage.
If I haven't gained any weight then why the frick are my clothes so uncomfortable!? Seriously. I've had a few meltdowns in the past week because I stand in front of my closet and see nothing but "tight," "short," and "won't go past my hips," ...so if you see me wearing Justin's sweats and t-shirts, wisely don't say a word. I'm still squeezing into a few regular pants but the baby kicks and kicks when I wear them so I can't help but feel like I'm squishing it! I intend to mosey in to town this week to find just one pair of pants that are black, stretchy, and can be worn with anything. Surely, surely they exist somewhere in my size.
Speaking of my size. I have very kindly been lent and given a number of maternity items for which I am very grateful...but this maternity body so far doesn't seem to made for maternity clothes. What is with that? Everything either slides down or creeps up...all the better to expose those parts of me that have expanded significantly to make room for baby and its aquatic home. Actually, I'm not sure why the derier is expanding, there's no baby in there as far as I know.
I'm thinking that maternity wear from days gone by don't look so bad.

Imagine how comfy this would be...minus the collar. You could hide a full grown person under there! Actually several, one in each sleeve!
