Check it out, I can fit into my pre-pregnancy shorts! This is a pair of shorts I bought the summer we got married, when I was in awesome shape!
Granted, I'm still spilling out a little. But hey! They fit! By the way, that is a bathing suit top holding up Rock of Love Bus 1 and 2, not a cute yellow bra. (are you kidding? they don't make bras that cute in my size.)
Exhibit A: bras in my size
And can I just say, the camera is cruel. I was holding the camera up, and I'd look in the mirror and go "wow! I look great!" then look at the camera screen and go "oh no, I look awful!" then back to the mirror and "wow, I look great!" and so on. Unfortunately, the 3" roots in my hair are represented accurately.
This post has two points-- one to document my possible weekly belly-growth update, because I wish I'd done that with Sascha, and the other to remind any of you who happen to be my friend on Facebook: please keep this under wraps! I have students and random acquaintances on Facebook. I've gotten very lucky so far, but pleeeeease don't say anything there yet. Thanks!

Congratulations!! You look fantastic! And I'm sure you've been told this a million times already, but if you're anything like me you will pop early and often with #2. Not that it's a bad thing at all (I love the belly personally), but still - a bit shocking. Enjoy!
Alright, I have been a faithful reader of this blog since stumbling upon it last year when I was pregnant with my first child. It was your writing during your pregnancy with Sascha that got me through my pregnancy. There was a lot of laughter! Anyways, I am so excited that the pregnant bitch is back! I'm sending lots and lots of positive thoughts your way! Congratulations!
Oh honey, I've always been a bitch, just normally without the pregnant part! Thank you very much for your nice words. And Anon #1-- whaddaya mean, "often"? Now I'm scared! I saw my image while Skyping with my in-laws tonight and thought, okay, bring the belly... at least I'll have an excuse for that thing I'm seeing below the ROL Buses. Also, I'm looking forward to my stomach being hard again! Of course I'm still not entirely convinced I'm pregnant. But we'll see.
congrats! I am hopeful for you- you look fantastic- I hate that it takes such bitter hard work to get in shape-thanks for your posts & keeping it real- I have to say you are my favorite blog because of the 'real-ness'
Abby - love your blog and hope the belly comes soon for you! I am having my second and yes it came quickly but it's all good.
Are you going to the doctor soon to confirm?
Anon #1 here: I just meant "often" in the that I popped early and just kept looking more and more pregs WAY sooner this time around than with my first. I'm currently 22 weeks and look they way I did around month 7. Again, I don't mind it (I could live without the puffy face and thighs but whaddya gonna do?) - but the belly is fun. And though I don't really know you, but I too have a very good feeling for you :)
Abby, you look awesome! You're such a beautiful woman anyway, but there's nothing at all unattractive about your body! I'd give my left arm to have your body!
Becky
