Rockin’ the Bump: Link Up Your Baby Bump Pics

All baby bumps are adorable- even if you don’t necessarily feel that way at the time. All moms-to-be rock their bumps!

We had so many moms join in for the first Rockin the Bump and it was just so much fun that I had to bring it back again!

Whether you are currently rockin’ the bump or you need to dig back to find a pic of your baby bump(s), you can join in!

Join in Rockin’ the Bump!

Create a post with pics of your baby bump(s), add the Rockin’ the Bump badge from my sidebar, and add the link to your post to the linky below. Linky will be open until the end of the night on Monday, July 1st. Don’t forget to click around and visit some of the other linkers! Tag your posts with #rockinthebump on twitter and facebook, too!

While I showed off all three of my baby bumps in my first rockin’ the bump post, this time I’m just going to show you what life was like when I was sporting baby bump number three.

About two weeks before baby #3 made his appearance(a little over 5 years ago), I was spending some time with my oldest… who was not quite 3.5:

And my just turned two year-old:

All while rockin’ the bump… and anxiously waiting for the arrival of baby #3 (notice that I of course have always loved yoga pants):

Hubs thought it would be hilarious to do a super zoom in of my bump:

That baby bump was baby #3 in the span of less than 3.5 years from oldest to youngest- which is why it was also my last baby bump!

Now it’s your turn to show off your baby bumps! Just show off a pic of you rockin’ the bump or feel free to tell a story to go along with your bumps.

Write your post, grab the button from my sidebar, link up below, and don’t forget to visit some of the other linkers! #rockinthebump

    Your oldest still has that adorable smile in his current pictures. I also posted pics of my last bump, it’s a little bittersweet. I think when you are pregnant yoga pants are just called pants 😉

      I did actually do yoga in them. 😉

    My last baby bump was 31 years ago.  Back then, nobody “rocked” it.  We were still “hiding” it.  Loose tops and dresses.  I love how young women today wear clingy tops to celebrate the new life growing inside.

      I definitely like the more recent maternity styles better. Celebrates being pregnant more.

    I have to confess that I cheated, Shell. I just linked up my last list because I wanted to play. Someday I’m going to go through all my pics and see if I can find a few more. Maybe on your 10th anniversary of Rockin’ the Bump…

      No worries! I figured some would do the same!

    You had a perfectly gorgeous baby bump! 
    Linking up in a couple of days!

    I have only one picture of myself pregnant and I used it last time. I loved seeing more of you pictures.

    • Shell says

      You can always link it up again! 😉

    You have an outie belly button like me when pregnant… though mine has always been an outie, just really an outie when pregnant.  

    • Shell says

      June 24, 2013 at 2:02 pm

      Mine only popped towards the end of my pregnancies. And Hubs thought he should touch it- it was SO sensitive, though!

    Love your sweet bump! You looked adorbs!!! I love that you captured life while you were preggers with #3…O just turned 4 & H will be 2.5 when this newest little miss arrives in September~ life is totallllllly different than when I was pregnant with #1! 

    My bump & I will  be linking up on Wednesday! Can’t wait!! 🙂 Thanks for such a fun linkup! 

    • Shell says

      June 24, 2013 at 2:03 pm

      It’s definitely different being pregnant and having to take care of little ones, instead of just being tired and getting to take a nap! LOL 

      Can’t wait to see your pics!

    I love that your belly button poked out.  Mine didn’t for either pregnancy.  It got sort of flat, but never actually popped out.  You were so cute!

    • Shell says

      June 24, 2013 at 2:03 pm

      My husband kept wanting to touch it. But it was SO sensitive. I just remember smacking his and anyone who tried’s hands away.

    I just love the popped out belly button!  I never had that but I think it’s SO cute! 🙂 

    • Shell says

      June 24, 2013 at 2:04 pm

      It was annoyingly sensitive, though! Hubs said it was like the indicator on a turkey- pops out and I’m done!

    it wasn’t until my 5th child that I got around to doing a maternity photoshoot, SO glad I did!  http://www.imtopsyturvy.com/maternity-photoshoot/
    my favorites are the before and afters http://www.imtopsyturvy.com/before-after-maternity-baby-photos/

      I never had a professional one done! I wish I had.

    Such a cute bump!

      Thanks, Amanda!

    And, as always, you look FABULOUS!

    • Shell says

      June 24, 2013 at 2:06 pm

      thank you- I’m sure I just felt gigantic at the time!

    I never had the reset button poke out 🙂
    I love this link up!

    • Shell says

      June 24, 2013 at 2:06 pm

      Me, too- all the pics make me smile!

    What a fun linky! You looked great in your preggo pics. I agree, yoga pants are a pregnant woman’s best friend! I’m currently rockin’ my second (and final!) bump, which is WAY bigger than Bump #1, and I’m living in these maternity yoga pants. Because I’m pretty sure I’m carrying this second one in my behind!

    • Shell says

      June 25, 2013 at 1:06 pm

      I felt like each of my bumps was bigger than the next. 

  17. Ashley says

    June 24, 2013 at 9:41 pm

    I never had the belly button either. My favorite is that you have the same expression in each and every picture 🙂 You were also annoyingly cute while pregnant! You looked amazing. xo

    • Shell says

      June 25, 2013 at 1:07 pm

      My go ahead and take my pic fake smile. LMAO

  18. Katie E says

    June 25, 2013 at 6:59 am

    Love that popped out belly button 🙂 I actually think pregnancy pictures, except mine, are always cute! Fun link-up.

    • Shell says

      We’re always the hardest on ourselves, aren’t we? Don’t be! 

  19. Kristy says

    June 25, 2013 at 12:21 pm

    Fun link-up – thanks!! I’m sporting bump #3 now and definitely getting bigger quicker than I did with #1! Haha! I took pics with the first 2, but this is the first time we did professional pics while preggo and I’m posting regular “bump updates.” I know I’ll love looking back at these when my little guys are all grown-up!!

    • Shell says

      June 25, 2013 at 1:08 pm

      I wish I’d taken more pics during my pregnancies. My belly definitely showed SO much faster with baby #3. I felt like you could see it the second the stick turned pink. 

      • Kristy says

        June 25, 2013 at 4:05 pm

        Glad to hear I’m not the only one! LOL! I was wearing my maternity jeans by ~ week 10 this time I think! Haha!

    Maternity yoga pants are one of the greatest inventions, in my opinion.

    • Shell says

      July 1, 2013 at 10:37 am

      They really are! I lived in them. Shocking, I know. 😉 

  21. Natalie says

    I am so glad you did this again…I love looking at all the bump photos!

    • Shell says

      July 1, 2013 at 10:37 am

      It’s such a happy link up! Thanks for joining in!

    I’m 24 weeks pregnant with our first and am so madly in love with my bump even though it’s starting to get a BIT uncomfortable at times. Thanks for hosting so we can all celebrate 🙂

    • Shell says

      July 1, 2013 at 10:37 am

      It definitely does get uncomfortable- but it’s so worth it! 

  23. Jessica says

    June 26, 2013 at 9:25 pm

    Any of the bump pics I have of my youngest always have me holding another little one too. We survived :).

    • Shell says

      July 1, 2013 at 10:38 am

      There was no such thing as kid-free time with the last bump! 

  24. Teresa says

    July 1, 2013 at 5:12 pm

    What a beautiful bump! I got mine done in under the wire! Just posted mine today! 🙂

  25. Andrea says

    Missed participating this time, but how adorable were you!!
