As promised, here are my belly pictures from weeks 10 through 16. They're perfectly awkward and I really want to crop my head out of each one of them, but I'll just swallow my pride and post them as is. I suppose that there will be plenty of opportunities for me to over-share and embarrass myself throughout the course of this pregnancy that I shouldn't let a few goofy photos bother me that much.
There is no rhyme or reason to us starting with Week 10; when we found out I was 5 weeks along, but hadn't noticed any changes, so didn't think to take a picture. By Week 10 I still hadn't noticed any change, but it dawned on me that once my body did start to change it would probably be a good idea to have a reasonably normal body picture of me to compare it to. So we took a picture that week and haven't looked back. Maybe once things start to change significantly I'll post pictures more often, but for now expect to get them in groups (because otherwise trying to identify any change is practically impossible).

This is really the first week that I've actually felt like I'm starting to show; I've even had a few co-workers commenting on my bump so I know something's visible (of course, to people who don't know I'm pregnant it probably just looks like I've let myself go--definitely looking forward to looking unquestionably pregnant and not just like I'm putting on pounds). The only other difference that I've been able to notice is in the boobs--you can tell in Weeks 10-13 that they are definitely growing, and then by Week 14 I caved and bought a much more appropriately-sized bra so they are back to looking a little more like normal, albeit larger (and not like they are threatening to fall out of my bra and shirt).
In (mostly) unrelated news, we had a successful Halloween yesterday with plenty of trick-or-treaters, although we did end up with a little bit of leftover candy.
I swear it's totally a coincidence that we started out with 3 Musketeers, Milky Way, Skittles, Snickers, Starbursts, and M&Ms and only had 3 Musketeers and Milky Ways left over. Honestly.
