#RockintheBump: Moms, I Know You Did This, So Join In!

This weekend, as I was working… yes, I can call reading/writing the latest celeb gossip “working”… I came across this darling photo of Jewel, who is expecting her first baby.

Photo: Twitter

Jewel had tweeted that now that she’s pregnant, she’s been wearing fun clothes, instead of her normal sweats and workout clothes. “#workinthebump” You can read more about that HERE.
It made me think about some of the cute maternity clothes I had. Or some of the clothes that I wore that I only got away with because I was pregnant!!!
I thought it would be fun if we would all show off pics of our baby bumps!Β  Share a pic of pregnant you! It can be wordless or you can tell a story to go along with your pic(s).

Only, you know what? Y’all are so fabulous that I know you didn’t just WORK the bump, but you ROCKED the bump. Or are currently rockING the bump, for my pregnant friends out there. So, we’ll do a #RockintheBump linky!

To give you time to get a pic ready, the #Rockinthebump linky will go up next Monday and stay open for a week!Β  I hope that you will join in!

Β 
Β Huge thanks to Kristi at Creative Kristi for making a button for this when I was a total pain and asked for it at the last minute. She does fabulous and affordable blog design! Be sure to check her out!

    This is a cute idea. I have very few pictures of me pregnant so I will have to hunt around to see what I can find.

  2. Minivan Mama says

    June 6, 2011 at 7:22 am

    Sounds like fun. I avoided cameras like the plague while pregnant. I did not rock the bump very well. Actually looked like an apple with legs. Oh well, I see what I can find.

  3. Oka says

    June 6, 2011 at 7:24 am

    Well dang their is one I can't join in at…no Baby Bump pictures. That's right 4 kids and no pictures of my baby bumps.

  4. Lisa @ Two Bears Farm says

    June 6, 2011 at 7:28 am

    Thank goodness I'm past that stage. I have lots of old bump pics up on my blog though – with twins I was huge!

  5. Barbara says

    June 6, 2011 at 7:33 am

    This is such a cute idea!

  6. Galit Breen says

    June 6, 2011 at 7:48 am

    Shell! FUN! I wonder how many baby-lusts will be induced?! Ahem. Not mine, of course. πŸ™‚

  7. Elena says

    June 6, 2011 at 7:49 am

    What a fun link-up! I'll have to look through pics tonight…I didn't take a lot of me – I just hid behind very large things. I'm sure there's one or two to grab.

  8. By Word of Mouth Musings says

    June 6, 2011 at 7:54 am

    I don't think that I have any bump pics either! Let me take a look … super cute idea Shell, always fun over in your corner of the blogosphere!

  9. Jessica says

    June 6, 2011 at 8:14 am

    I love this idea, definitely joining but, unfortunately most of my "bump" pics are of me laying down because I never make it long before being put on bedrest.

  10. The Random Blogette says

    June 6, 2011 at 8:16 am

    Awesome! I really didn't take a lot of pics when I was pregnant. Mostly because I was so ill all of the time. I will have to see what I can find!

  11. Alison@Mama Wants This says

    June 6, 2011 at 8:19 am

    Ooh what fun! I have bump pictures WHICH I'VE NEVER SHOWN ANYONE. Think it's time? πŸ™‚

  12. Kmama says

    June 6, 2011 at 8:24 am

    Sounds like fun!! My bumps from both pregnancies are so very different!

  13. Liz says

    June 6, 2011 at 8:25 am

    I bet you get a huge turnout – I was amazed by #SeniorHottie.

    I wasn't a pregnant woman who refused to get in front of the camera – I have LOTS of photos of my bellies!

  14. JDaniel4's Mom says

    June 6, 2011 at 8:30 am

    Thank goodness I still have one picture on my digital camera. This sounds like fun.

  15. Natalie says

    June 6, 2011 at 8:33 am

    That is a cute idea! I might have to join in…that is a cute button. I think I need to get a button for my blog! Hope you had a great weekend!

  16. Stephanie says

    June 6, 2011 at 8:45 am

    This sounds like so much fun!! Wish I could join in but no one in my life takes pictures of me so no baby bump photos exist πŸ™

  17. Jen says

    June 6, 2011 at 9:01 am

    Awesome!! I will definitely be joining in and sharing one of my HUGE belly shots!

  18. Renee says

    June 6, 2011 at 9:06 am

    This will be fun! I can't wait!

  19. Tina @ Life Without Pink says

    June 6, 2011 at 9:08 am

    Oh that sounds like fun! I have a photo or two I can share πŸ™‚

  20. michellespann says

    June 6, 2011 at 9:17 am

    I did NOT rock the bump well so I won't be sharing. LOL πŸ™‚

  21. Evonne says

    June 6, 2011 at 9:47 am

    I don't have a lot of pictures of my bumps because I was usually the one behind the camera. I did find one the other day that maybe I'll share. Only because it's one when I was pregnant with my daughter – I didn't get nearly as huge with her as with my son!

  22. Kimberly says

    June 6, 2011 at 9:57 am

    Love this!! Time to hunt for pics!!

  23. Suitcase says

    June 6, 2011 at 10:02 am

    What a great idea. I'm gonna do it. Still need to get some mileage out of the maternity clothes investment…

  24. Jayme says

    June 6, 2011 at 10:14 am

    I need to dig out a pic of the end of my pregnancy with the twins- where even the XXL maternity shirts didn't cover my belly! And I'm short!

  25. Lisa says

    June 6, 2011 at 10:20 am

    I will totally rock the bump tomorrow. πŸ™‚

  26. Heidi says

    June 6, 2011 at 10:38 am

    Cute idea! I don't think I have any pic's though. I'm the only one in our house who ever picks up a camera so there are very few pictures of me period.

  27. Emmy says

    June 6, 2011 at 10:53 am

    Very fun idea and an easy Monday post- will definitely join in.

  28. ModernMom says

    June 6, 2011 at 11:06 am

    That is a fun Monday! Last time I "rocked a Bump" was 9 years ago. Clothes were not nearly as cute back then:)

  29. Jessica says

    June 6, 2011 at 11:33 am

    I guess I have some old pics to go through before Monday…

  30. Kristina P. says

    June 6, 2011 at 11:36 am

    No baby bump, but I could take a picture of my regular fat bump!

  31. Holly@A Life-Size Catholic Blog says

    June 6, 2011 at 11:47 am

    Great idea! I was on the beach~in a swimsuit~ the day before giving birth to my last child, and my hubby snapped a pic. I'm not sure that photo would qualify, it was more like a mountain then a bump!

  32. Hutch says

    June 6, 2011 at 11:54 am

    Maybe I'll take a pic of my food baby, I can totally rock that!

  33. Tammy says

    June 6, 2011 at 12:12 pm

    I'm doing the flip flop swap too! πŸ™‚ Maybe I would get to exchange with you!

    Love ya girl…:) Just had to say that. My hug from you totally made my day Saturday! πŸ™‚ xoxo

  34. Natalie says

    June 6, 2011 at 12:20 pm

    I love this idea, Shell! I'm totally in!

    Gotta go check out the flip flop swap because I live in them πŸ˜‰

  35. mama marchand says

    June 6, 2011 at 12:25 pm

    Love this! I'll join in but, I wouldn't say I "rocked" my bump. I look back at my maternity wardrobe and shudder because, it was so boring! Next time around, I'll be cute. πŸ˜‰

  36. KSK says

    June 6, 2011 at 12:31 pm

    What a super cute idea! I unfortunately don't have many (if any) pictures of my bump… but I look forward to the link up anyways!

  37. The Mommyologist says

    June 6, 2011 at 12:42 pm

    I've got a REAL doozie for this one. Skin showing and all…LOL.

  38. Clare says

    June 6, 2011 at 12:57 pm

    Sounds like fun! It has been almost five years since I last rocked the bump, but I tried my best to do it all four times. I'll have to scour my archives for a good one… πŸ™‚

  39. Cindi says

    June 6, 2011 at 1:17 pm

    My youngest is now 14 and unfortunately, I still have the bump so no photos here. (LoL)

  40. Rach (DonutsMama) says

    June 6, 2011 at 1:27 pm

    What a cute idea!! I'm going to try and be brave and find my bump pics!

  41. Courtney K. says

    June 6, 2011 at 1:39 pm

    How fun! I didn't have many photos made of me when I was preggo with the little guy…but I can't wait to see pictures of the other ladies and their cute baby bump fashion!

  42. Lourie says

    June 6, 2011 at 1:53 pm

    I will happily play along, and I am going to add a pic of my niece. She truly is rockin' the bump. I was just Shamu! haha.

  43. The Empress says

    June 6, 2011 at 1:54 pm

    Oh, what a great idea.

    Do you want skin?

    It's all I got.

    Can you say FINALLY HAPPY I WAS PREGNANT??!!

  44. The Blue Zoo says

    June 6, 2011 at 1:59 pm

    Oh I am SO in! lol

    Though my twin bump may scare some people into never having s-e-x again. lol

  45. shortmama says

    June 6, 2011 at 2:04 pm

    Looks like fun!

  46. The Woven Moments says

    June 6, 2011 at 2:15 pm

    oooooh, I may have to break out the pic of the baby bump cast that we made! Good times.

  47. John and Allie Fields says

    June 6, 2011 at 2:51 pm

    Fun ideas!

  48. Just Another Mom of 2 says

    June 6, 2011 at 3:08 pm

    Oh so much fun!! I will have to dig up some pictures!

  49. Leontien says

    June 6, 2011 at 7:33 pm

    Just came over from SkinnyScoop and see lot's of things i like! Soon i will be back and check the whole site out!

    Thanks

    I didn't know Jewel was pregnant! She's so darn cute! I posted some of me on Mother's Day last year. Fun idea!

  51. Jenny says

    June 6, 2011 at 8:41 pm

    Totally going to do this…I love that dress the Jewel is holding! I want that!

  52. Kim says

    June 6, 2011 at 9:16 pm

    I never really "rocked the bump". I was just so happy to wear clothes and not have to suck in. I remember going from wearing maternity jeans for months to regular jeans. Now I know why my grandma wears elastic waist pants.

  53. Daffy says

    June 6, 2011 at 9:41 pm

    I may be one of those rare people that even those I turned into a WHALE…and thats really no stretch of the imagination…I was a WHALE! I took tons of pictures. I loved everything about being pregnant! Looking forward to seeing the link ups to this!!

  54. The Woven Moments says

    June 6, 2011 at 10:17 pm

    As a mom who was a very overweight pregnant woman, it'd take some serious courage to post my pic. But I'm happy to oblige if other "big" mamas follow suit!

  55. Tiffany says

    June 6, 2011 at 10:35 pm

    I did not like my baby bump. πŸ™ I only have a few photos from each. I'll have to build up the courage to post some from my pregnancy with my son. We did not have a digital camera with my daughter so none are on the computer.

  56. championm2000 says

    June 6, 2011 at 11:25 pm

    Since I was already in the process of writing my second trimester preggo story for the babies, I am totally playing along. Be forewarned…there are major bumps ahead πŸ™‚

  57. Kristin says

    June 6, 2011 at 11:48 pm

    I went out of my way to NOT be photographed when I was pregnant. I was young. And grossed out. I think I'd react way differently nowadays.

  58. Sandra says

    June 7, 2011 at 12:06 am

    Well, here is something I might actually join up to. I'm going to see if I can dig up and scan any bump pics! Such a great idea Shell, and love the button too. Super cute!

  59. the mom diggity says

    June 7, 2011 at 12:12 am

    Hooray! I'm currently rocking my bump πŸ™‚ Excited to be a part!

  60. Holly@A Life-Size Catholic Blog says

    June 7, 2011 at 12:39 am

    β€œPay it Forward” is posted. I hope you’ll be able to participate. I’m hoping to be able to build β€œPay It Forward” up to be a meaningful event, but I need your help to do it. If you can find the time to join in, it would really help to grow the movement! Pay It Forward: http://alife-sizecatholicblog.blogspot.com/2011/06/pay-it-forward.html

  61. Las Vegas Mama says

    June 7, 2011 at 12:42 am

    Oh my gosh how fun!! Ok, let me go find one… even though I do have a bump right now, I don't have any good pics at the moment so I will pull up one from my last pregnancy… πŸ™‚

  62. Kimberly says

    June 7, 2011 at 2:43 am

    What a fun idea!! I'll be back to post mine for sure!

  63. Jill says

    June 7, 2011 at 9:48 am

    Jewel looks adorable. PS: I was a HUGE whale and didn't look very cute at all passed 6 months.

  64. Alexis AKA MOM says

    June 7, 2011 at 10:12 am

    Oh yes this girl was so NOT a cute basketball PG girl! My butt thought it was pg also and grew just as fast and out as my belly!

    Shell you are an AMAZING friend you make me tear up! You don't know how much I appreciate you posting my swap and I have so many because of you. You my dear are the best bud ever!

  65. Mrs4444 says

    June 8, 2011 at 12:27 am

    This is a fun idea! I'm going for it. Just might have to link up as "Guess Who?" though, since it's been a while πŸ™‚

  66. Charlotte says

    June 8, 2011 at 12:38 pm

    Awwww, love this so very much. And what a gorgeous pic of Jewel. She looks radiant πŸ™‚

  67. Wendy says

    June 10, 2011 at 11:35 am

    I will definitely join in. Baby bump pictures were my mother's day gift last year!!

  68. Kristin @ What She Said says

    June 10, 2011 at 5:57 pm

    What a fun idea for a blog hop! I'll definitely link up. I loved my baby bump and being pregnant in general.

  69. Keshyra says

    June 11, 2011 at 4:28 am

    I love this idea! I will totally join up, looks like you've got a great group so far!

  70. Helene says

    June 12, 2011 at 5:34 pm

    This sounds like so much fun!!! I think I have some already up on my blog but not from when I was pregnant with Cole and Bella!!

  71. Brittney says

    June 12, 2011 at 8:23 pm

    Aww that will be fun Im gonna see if i can dig up some old photos

  72. MommaKiss says

    June 12, 2011 at 9:19 pm

    Wait. Am I too early? If I can't get to it tomorrow, here's my fat belleh in pictures. heh.
