First of all, thanks everyone for your input on whether I'm baby bumping or squishing out. After reading a bunch of comments I noticed that if I tried to pull all of the squish on top of the bump away then my stomach was still pretty flat, it's just that the bump that only I can see was pushing the squish to the front. That was on Friday. This week though, in the last 2 days I seem to have gotten larger suddenly. Monday I was teaching my class wearing one of my flowy-fatty shirts that normally makes me look skinnier than normal, and while I was teaching one of the girls in my class says "You know you can really see your baby bump in that shirt!". I wasn't sure whether or not to be offended, so I joked it off that my stomach was not the reason people get Searching for Satellite Signal on their television, concentrated more on sucking in my gut and moved on.
Of course after that comment all I could think of was that my stupid belly is poking out and it's not even a baby doing it. Then I realized that I couldn't suck in very much because it was either extremely uncomfortable or impossible to a point. Then poking my stomach it was very hard. We'd just had lunch, so I dismissed it. Today however, it could just be my imagination but I swear it was bigger when I woke up before I ate anything. I also noticed it was harder to poke, and it was harder for me to suck in. Thinking I was crazy again I had Jon poke my belly and he was shocked at how hard it felt and is convinced it's a baby bump. So yeah, after convincing myself that I was just getting chunky, now I'm convinced it's a genuine bump. There's still a layer of squish on top, but that's nothing compared to the rest of it. Since everyone else said that they didn't start showing until the end of 4 months or during their 5th month, I'm not sure if I'm happy or upset by it, but I'm positive this time that it's not just me, even though I'm only 14 weeks...hmmm...
On a lighter note, we get to find out what we're having in 5 weeks! The doctor said that he always waits until 19 weeks so it's easier to tell, so I just have 5 weeks left. Yay!

Hey Mindy its Brian. I just want to warn you that you might want to wait till about 27 weeks to find out what you are having. With Jon as the dad, if it is a boy, you wont be able to see anything till then anyway. You wouldn't want to mistake your poor little boy for a girl because they couldn't find anything by 19 weeks. HAHAHA Jon!!!
Oh you are so funny! Just remember that the skinnier you are the harder it is to "hide" your baby bump! So showing earlier probably just means that you were super skinny to start with!
P.S. When are we going to get together? It's been too long! Plus, I want to see your baby bump :)
You look so dang cute!! I totally agree with Sharece on your skinniness. You are going to be the cutest pregnant girl!
Well *I* think it's a baby bump! Everyone will say something different, but the truth is that every girl's pregnancy is different, and you're probably just one of the girls that will show earlier! I think it's cute and you do not look chunky AT ALL! You look beautiful :)
I think you look great. I was already HUGE at 16 weeks so you are doing great!
Definitely a baby bump in my opinion! I showed by a few months in at the latest, and the smaller and skinnier you are the earlier you will generally show. Can't wait to find out if that little bump is a boy or a girl! Yay! :) Are you getting over the morning sickness yet?
Yep, definantly a baby bump! :oD Can't wait to see you!
you look super cute with your little baby bump mindy! chelsea should be having her little girl today! I vote that you and i go and see her in the next couple of weeks and meet her baby!
