Anyone else feel HUGE? Bump at 17+3

I cannot believe how big I am already. This is so crazy to me. I was NEVER this big so early with my other kiddos, in fact this was probably as big as I got with my last. I have bad stretch marks from my previous 3 pregnancies and I am already getting NEW ones. I just can't believe it. And the new ones I'm getting are in such weird places, like really high up, on my sides - almost on my back, and even under my arm pit from my breasts growing. I feel like I'm going to be one huge stretch mark by the time I delivery. Anyone else getting bigger than usual? Or feel like you're going to be HUGE????

Thanks :) I love it too because I've never gotten this big before either. But I'm feeling HUGE lol. And sometimes I start feeling like I will be a whale in the end and where in the world a I going to find clothes to cover this up? LOL. I was hoping to be able to wear my maternity clothes from before but I'm already as big as I was with my last so none of it fits already :( and I'm not even half way done yet. Good thing it's summer. I have a pair of capri leggings that have become my best friend lol.

I DO! I was just having this conversation with my dh last night I feel huge this time. I love it I never really get big so the idea of getting big this time around is really exciting for me. I've never had a stretch mark on my belly and I don't even care if I get one this time. This is number 3 for me and the last one was less than 2 years ago. Oh I'm also 17 weeks. LOVE YOUR BUMP!

Yeah, I'm 5'3" so I'm definitely not a tall one! I'm a shorty lol. I think I'll be falling over my belly by the time all is said and done.

It goes by so fast doesn't it? I still can't believe this is going to be the last baby I ever carry in my body. Baby was bouncing all around tonight and I am looking forward to when this baby is crazy all over the place like my last was. He was so active in my belly :) I never would have known that my placenta was in the front if they hadn't told me. I felt him more than any of my others. I am just so ready for the 26th and confirm whether baby really is a boy or if I am actually getting my little princess.

Are you short? I am short so baby has nowhere to go but out! And that pic was taken before I posted it online so that's why I can't remember. But I've been big for awhile. I'm going to have a pretty big bump by the time this is all said and done! LOL!

I think I was 18 weeks in that pic? Somewhere around there. I'll be 21 weeks this Wed.
