I'm being silly

I know this is crazy, but I've started thinking maybe I look "too pregnant." I still haven't hit the 15 pounds gained mark yet, but over the last three weeks, my belly has really popped...again.
Little comments here and there from friends and family have started making me pretty self aware of this growing baby inside of me. They mean nothing by them and really, it should make me feel good. I mean, it's not my lumpy fat rolls that people are seeing. It's my baby boy.
At 24 weeks, I was measuring a week ahead. Tomorrow, I'll be 27 weeks.
I've started googling pictures of other women and how they look at 27 weeks. Some look smaller, some look about the same and some are quite a bit larger. Actually, the majority of the ones I've found are probably about the same or larger. It's made me feel a bit better.
I think I need to keep reminding myself that every woman is different. Is my belly large...definitely. Do I look further along than I am? I might. Does it make a difference? Not really. My baby is healthy, and judging by the number of kicks, very happy. Right now, that's all that should be important to me.

(Check back later for belly pics. I wasn't going to post any, but I think it's only fair).
