This is exactly how I have been feeling lately. I finally uploaded a photo of myself from week 20, and also added a current photo of myself. I was AMAZED at the difference that four weeks had made.
In fact I'm shocked at how big I look in the most recent photo. I don't feel as though I am that big. I can still look down and see my toes, and can even still fit a few pre pregnancy shirts and dresses. I also even have a few maternity shirts that are still a little big...or so I though. But now I'm wondering if I look this big at 24 weeks, how big am I going to look16 weeks from now?
I guess I have been noticing some difference in my body type. I have still been wearing my bikini, but felt the need to asked my husband last weekend if he thought I was at the point where I should stop wearing one. His answer was a very sweet no. He told me that he always dreamed of being proud of his pregnant wife in her bikini. So I guess as long as that's still his answer I will keep wearing one. Plus I have yet to find a maternity bathing suit that I actually like.
What the most recent photo also tells me is that I need to make sure I am staying on top of applying lotions and oils to my belly. I have yet to notice any stretch marks, and would like to keep that at bay as much as possible. Thanks to a recommendation from a friend I've been using a product called Bio Oil instead of Palmer's, and I believe it has been working.
