Hello, elastic waistband!

I've been fighting it off long enough.  My belly is definitely expanding and things are getting rounder in that region.  My regular pants still fit when I'm up and walking around, no problem.  When I sit?  Not so much.  So a few weeks ago, in anticipation of this day, I did some online shopping and bought some maternity clothes.  Two pairs of pants.  Two shirts.  All cute!

The pants are funny because on the top, they look like pants a toddler would wear with a nice thick elastic band.  So hot.  The jeans I bought (Old Navy, $20) fit surprisingly well.  With the right shirt that covers that sexy elastic waist, you can't even tell they are maternity jeans. 

I am now almost 17 weeks pregnant.  And I'm pretty sure my belly is on the slightly bigger side of almost 17 weeks.  Some moron lady I work with said to me last week, "Wow, you're really popping out for 16 weeks!"  And in my head, I was like, "Eff you, lady!"  Seriously.  No pregnant (or not pregnant) woman wants to hear they are BIG.  I chalk it up to the fact that I had a flat belly and a thin waist prior to all this happening so I'm just 'showing' sooner than a woman with a chubby belly.  At my last MD check-up I was right on track with weight gain so take that, nosy coworker!  Sheesh.

If you've been pregnant, when do you start to 'show'?  Last week was when my belly really started to 'pop' but I've definitely felt like I've had a beer gut for a few weeks now.

Anyone else have any 'insensitive comment' stories to share?  I'm sure there will be plenty more where this came from in the next 5 month before I deliver.
