Too funny, Petunia. I know exactly what you mean!

Luckily I kept a few of my 'fat' bras and other clothing around so that I have something that fits... sort of... for now. The old bras were a godsend because goodness knows how much bigger they'll get (!!!).

I am a full time figure skating coach, so I know all about trying to hide from students. I've told a couple so far just because there seem to be a few that always seem to catch my mood swings and I felt pretty terrible about it. You would think that hiding a belly would be easy in a ski jacket, but the sweaters required under it make me look HUGE! Generally it just looks like I've gained a ton of weight at the moment, but the belly is definitely starting to stick out more.

I waited until we told our families, but not I think I'm just going to tell my skaters too. I just hope that all of my backup/maternity plans work out (no such thing as maternity leave for the self-employed).
