I promise I won’t turn this into a baby blog, but since it’s all still so shiny and new for me, I want to share a little bit more.
A few people asked if I’m showing or gaining weight. The answer is a little…to both.
In the morning I wake up and my tummy is relatively flat, but by the end of the day I swear I swell up a few inches in circumferences and my pooch (aka belly bump) is more evident. It’s all below the belly button at this point. I should note that I am very short torso-ed, so it will be interesting to see where my weight gain will go – there ain’t much room!
As for weight gain, as I’ve mentioned before, I have a pretty wide range of weight that I can reside in. I prefer to stay in between 114 – 118 lbs (again I’m 5’4.5”), but I’ve also been known to reside above 120 lbs after the holidays, one-too-many fat kid moments, etc. That being said, I am now just a couple pounds above my preferred weight range.
And admittedly, I’d say maybe 2 of the 4 lbs of weight I’ve gained is because I’ve been eating too much in the evenings. I’ve been a bit of snack monster, what can I say?
I’m still working out ~4x’s per week, but noticeably only able to give about 90% my norm. But it’s all good!
So here’s a handful of photos from week 1- week 14. I didn’t do the side profile of the bump because, well there isn’t much to see, so perhaps you can see,from a random assortment of my daily outfit photos, any differences

(Cats outta the bag that I take pictures of my outfit daily
I do this to keep track and know when I wore something last. I didn’t take any of these photos with the intent of sharing them with anyone, but it’s close as I’ve got to “baby bump progress pics”)
Come on, tell me you take photos of your outfit every day? Or at least sometimes!









I love that you take pictures of your outfits. I don’t because I rarely dress nicely.
I can’t wait to read more about the baby. Its so exciting!
I’ve thought about outfit pics but have tried to keep my blog as food-oriented as possible so far. Great idea though!
Kinda jealous that your 13 weeks photo is the way I look in a bikini right now!
I wish I could keep my blog food focused but my eats aren’t that creative 90% of the time!
I like your fashion stuff. It feels like…you.
But this is a bit ‘triggering’ for my own insecurities. You look amazing all the way through and in that bikini – you look better than most that aren’t pregnant at all. Also – I’m always bloated as the the day goes on.
Sigh.
Short torso, huh? I bet you’ll have the cutest little torpedo belly!
bhahaha, torpedo belly
sorry this is really blonde of me! but what’s a torpedo belly? haha
This is so cool Shanna! And congrats on your little angel!
I think it’s when it sticks straight out almost cone like vs round all over

I’ll take a pic if I think my outfit is really good. Otherwise I’m just too lazy in the morning!
Love the photo progression!
I do take outfit photos semi regularly, even if it’s just a “look what I”m wearing” photot to email a friend lol
Haha, yeah I send to my bestie sometimes
SO so so cute! You seriously cannot tell at all! You look great. Definitely have that pregnancy glow
Love it!!
Congrats again, I’m beyond excited for you & your husband!!
I wish I took photos of my daily outfits just so everyone could have a good laugh. Oh and I hope you showed up to work in your bikini ha ha ha. I think you look GREAT! I’m so truly happy for you
Next time you’re in Denver I will take YOU out to celebrate and I promise not to drink wine in front of you
Awww you are so swseet Lauren..and A-OK to drink vino in front of me
And good god NO bikini to work!
Yeah, I don’t see much of a difference between these pics and the way you normally look. I bet that I can still out “tummy” you by eating my normal meals and pooching out my tummy. We can see by having a tummy-off this weekend.
My tummy grows over the day bestie..we’ll do a comparison at night
It made me chuckle that you take a pic of yourself daily. I’m not laughing at you. It’s just funny and cute – so bloggerish! I should expect that kind of wardrobe dedication from such an fashionista.
Don’t worry about “turning into a baby blog.” I love to hear the updates, so keep ‘em coming!
I’ve been taking photos for years Tiff…maybe even since middle school!
I love that you do this, I would too if my clothes were this cute all the time!
You look amazing, I bet you will be one of those people who do not really gain a lot of weight till the very end. Congrats again! !
That would be nice Lauren..ha!
Like the others said… can’t even tell. Congrats!
I have a long torso and short legs….so pretty much my future baby bump will have a lot of space to choose where to go, lol! I kinda know how my body will look with a baby bump, I’ve seen it on my 2 sisters while they are preggers.
You look amazing Shanna. 13 weeks pregnant and in a bikini? Hot mama!
That’s awesome that you have an idea based on your sisters!
You look lovely in all the photos, Shanna.. not much of a tummy yet and still looking fab in that bikini! So kudos on that, girl.. I’ll bet you are gonna be one of those fab preggers women who just glow and dont show any other signs besides a cute lil’ bump.
Thanks Priya, but I think I’m gong to get large!
You are hilarious! You put so much thought into your outfits- I usually just worry about whether the clothes are clean.
Haha I only take a picture of my outfit when it is completely absurd (like the duct tape getup!) or very special/not my norm.
I remember feeling like I’d never show. Then at about 23 weeks, BOOM! It was so awesome.
I have been thinking of starting to take outfit pics each day, just for me. My purpose will be to encourage myself to look prettier.
I’ve heard that happens..all of a sudden, the pop!
CONGRATULATIONS on your baby!! Such a sweet gift!
I don’t take pics of my outfit–but what a great idea to remember what you wore last!!
CONGRATS!!!
Also – you SHOULD take pictures of your outfits everything – they’re AWESOME!
Thx Cait
I’m glad you’re sharing baby progress pics – you don’t look preggers at all yet!
At night I pooch out a bit more Stef
Congrats on being pregnant. I just found your blog and love it.
Congratulations on the baby!! That is so exciting. I love hearing about pregnancy progress and experiences (living vicariously and all!). If my outfits are cute, sometimes I take photos!
you’re not showing. you’re belly is still flat as a board in that bikini shot! haha…I thought I was showing so much at like 14 weeks, but I didn’t show to anyone else (despite the hyperextending back and tight shirts) until like 30 weeks! You ARE glowing though, gorgeous!
There is no way I’ll make it to 30 weeks without showing!
Ummm…you look better in a bikini pregnant then I ever have!!! But seriously, you look amazing! And I personally think you should make this blog about whatever you want – I think most of us would love to read about your journey. I know I’ll need all the info. I can get when it’s my turn.
love the pics! you def don’t look pregnant yet, but i look forward to seeing the changes over the coming months!
p.s.. i’ve had to quit the 30×30 challenge because i could not keep up with taking pictures! crazy work got in the way. my bf goes to work hours before me, so he can’t help. how do you take your daily photos? do you turn them into one of those closet look books?
Something like that Mila — I have daily photos of outfits since 2004
CONGRATS!! I missed the news! I am so happy for you! I must of been away when you announced this! U are going to be the cutest pregnant girl ever! I see you wearing heels and jeans through the whole pregnancy too! ha! xoxo <3
Your picture each day of what your wore is brilliant!! I routinely forget what I wore by the end of the week and from what week to the next.
Congrats on your pregnancy. Have fun and welcome to the mommy club!
Thanks! I’m liking this mommy club
