Okay, everything about my baby that was posted, chronologically, before this post, was written on the day it says, saved to drafts, and then posted after I'd made the official announcement.
The end.

Bump.
Apparently my twins are done growing new body parts, and are now focusing on making those parts bigger.
Much bigger.
This week I went from "all pregnant and nothing to show for it," to, "Holy crap, I look like a barrel." My weekly bathroom mirror selfies (no... I am not posting these all over Facebook. I only send them to my mother... who posts them on Facebook... but in a private album so it's okay) were extremely frustrating, because I couldn't see a single difference in my body shape. Yeah, the measuring tape said I'd gained 3/4 of an inch around my waist, but the scale said I was still 2 lbs. less than when I started, and if there was a bump there, I couldn't see it.
This past week my pants started hurting my lower back. It got bad enough that by Thursday I wore a skirt to work - a light, flowy skirt that was basically weaved from the down of angel wings. Then I found that my slacks, which were too big when I bought them, were just about the right fit for my waist. Those and my sweats are now the only pants that fit.
So, at 11 weeks, I'm considering maternity pants.
And then, yesterday, I took my 11 week bathroom selfie... and I was huge. My waist looked like it had doubled in size, all in 1 week. My back and butt looked bigger too, and the only thing that looked smaller was my boobs, which are starting to get dwarfed by the region beneath them.
Here. I present, 1 week in bathroom mirror selfies:
10 weeks - April 25, 2015.
11 weeks - May 3, 2015.
I don't really think I look pregnant so much as just larger. If that back/butt expansion hadn't happened, it might be different. Those babies are just pushing everything around in there.
Much bigger.
