As most of your baby books will tell you, your uterus and baby will not be large enough to "show through" until late in your first or early in your second trimester. So, when I look down and see that my abdomen has grown exponentially rounder, I feel a little shitty.
Who am I kidding? I feel a lot shitty. Like Crappy McPooperson. Like Tubby McBiggerson.
Then, of course, the crazy sets in and I question everything I've done so far. . . Did I really up my calorie intake inadvertently - already? Am I not being as active as I usually am? Is swimming laps not taking the place of three softball teams? Is my baby really the Starman and it's just growing at an alien speed???
No. No. No.
In reality, that glorious little pooch. . . F.U.P. . . chub. . . gunt. . . bulbous growth is just a little bit o' bloat. In fact, it feels so familiar, that I already know the cure!
If I could just start my period, I would be back to normal and the pooch would disappear.
*blink*
So, I wait. With a mix of fear and excitement, I wait for a real bump to appear.
