Third pregnancy body

Question

There’s a question here I swear.. I’m 8w4d with my third. My rational brain knows that early pregnancy weight fluctuations aren’t a true baby bump and likely bloat. But I woke up today looking like I did in the second trimester with my first two. My first I was in normal pants through 28 weeks which I know isn’t necessarily realistic but I thought I’d have much longer than this!!!! Trying to wait at least 2 more weeks to tell even family (parents are out of town and I want to do it in person) but shit if it keeps going like this I feel like it’ll be so obvious!!! My body clearly knows the drill here, but I kinda wish it didn’t 🙃. Other 3+ time moms, is this normal???
