How I finally saw a change...

Sure it seems strange. My pants don't fit anymore. I'm finding it increasingly more difficult to move around like I used to i.e. popping out of bed, jumping up from a seated position. I just didn't think it was physically noticeable until I did a side by side comparison of my belly pics.

In the beginning...week 5

At week 12 there still wasn't too much change...

Then me and the baby started our growth spurt :)

Week 16...finally I don't look crazy wearing my maternity pants :P

Week 17

(these are the pants I belt up...I wonder if they're just bad pants or will they always slide off even when I get bigger?!!?)
