Measuring the belly

For the first time last week, I wore one of my belly bands for an entire day. As soon as I found out I was pregnant bought four fun colorful bands from this shop on Etsy. We snapped a side pic of me at week 6-ish but since nothing else has really changed we haven't done a pic since... I think I just look like I'm eating too many burritos. But there's definitely more definition there now so I think we'll start the pics again, and share of course.

On one of the baby websites I read, some of the women have started measuring their bellies with toilet paper and counting the squares. Easy! So as of Friday, gestational age was 11 weeks and I am 11 squares around at my widest point.

Next step - to buy a scale so I can see how much weight I lose/gain during this adventure. Lost 2 pounds so far, which is great considering my doc only wants me to gain about 15 pounds total. Easy... right?
