So I must of googled “When are you suppose to start showing?” hundred of times, because for some reason I felt like I was getting big fast…And as it turns out there is no exact science to when you should start showing and everyone is different. For me it happened around 12 weeks, but I’m not sure if I was actually showing a “baby bump” or if it was just bloat. Either way I knew I wasn’t going to be fitting into my pants anymore. And that is when I discovered the incredibly bad selection of maternity clothes especially when you are in the weird, am I bloated or showing a baby bump phase.

I guess I’ll never forget the day my morning sickness (or as I like to call it “all day sickness”) kicked in. I was on a plane back to houston and right as the altitude started dropping, I started to get very nauseous. Now they say planes heightened your already existing sickness and boy they were right. First time I have ever got sick on a plane and I’m hoping it is the last time. Needless to say when I got home my husband was convinced it was all  in my head, and as I continued the puking extravaganza he just kept saying “mind over matter babe…” and that is when I knew he was completely out of touch to what was going on…and to be honest its really hard for guys to understand. So in the meantime just let them know to but on their sensitive hat and go along for the ride!

So your first pregnancy test came up positive…and well you might as well take another one sweet heart because probably the baby’s daddy isn’t just going to believe one. In my case it took 4 before he was convinced and I still booked a doctors appointment to make sure. Which answers the question….now what? And here is the part that really confused me because when you finally have your first missed period you’re technically already 3 weeks pregnant, and because the drug store tests are so accurate these days they will most likely have you wait till your 8 weeks.
