Might Have to tell family sooner than planned

Baby decided it was time to start popping out right about now. I can still hide it with baggy shirt and sweatshirts, but pants are difficult to button, or if they can be buttoned are not in the least bit comfortable. If my belly keeps up at this rate I won't be able to hide it by 14 or 15 weeks. I was aiming to keep it on the down low until March 27th, which is my older son's 6th birthday and 2 days after our miscarried baby's due date. That was the earliest I wanted to reveal but was thinking of waiting until April. Now I am going to be lucky if I can make it through the rest of the month!
We wanted to have our minivan bought first because we plan on installing the carseat we bought then putting the ultrasound picture and a note that says "seat reserved Sept 1, 2014" inside the seat, then having my boys "show grandma the new van!" so they go open the sliding door and she sees the carseat, they tell her to look inside where she can see the note. Plan will be ruined if she just straight up sees my huge belly. But maybe it's bigger to me than it really looks to other people. At least thats what I keep telling myself. It doesn't help that I'm really small framed and thin to begin with. ugh!
--edit: yeah that was bloat. Back to having nothing for a belly.

 | Comment from lyssa7872 » Posted Feb. 20, 2014 1:37pm Amarylis is so right. Sometimes we feel huge even though we aren't. And ya know what, hopefully grandma won't say anything even if she notices, then the surprise will still go on. :) |
 | Comment from Amarylis13 » Posted Feb. 20, 2014 11:20am get someone to take a picture of you front view while you are in a tank top. You should be able to tell that way if it looks like a bump or not. |
