Things I Can't Say

Tips and Tales from an Introverted Mom

#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!  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!  I hope that you will join in!

 
 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!

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

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

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

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

  15. 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. 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 🙁

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

  19. Oh that sounds like fun! I have a photo or two I can share 🙂

  21. 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!

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

  24. 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!

  26. 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.

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

  31. 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!

  33. I'm doing the flip flop swap too! 🙂 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! 🙂 xoxo

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

    Gotta go check out the flip flop swap because I live in them 😉

  35. 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. 😉

  36. 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!

  38. 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… 🙂

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

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

  41. 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. 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. Oh, what a great idea.

    Do you want skin?

    It's all I got.

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

  44. Oh I am SO in! lol

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

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

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

  52. 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. 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. 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. I did not like my baby bump. 🙁 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. 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 🙂

  57. 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. 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!

  61. 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… 🙂

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

  64. 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. 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 🙂

  66. Awwww, love this so very much. And what a gorgeous pic of Jewel. She looks radiant 🙂

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

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

  70. 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!!
