Bloating or belly bump?

I am 9w5d and I swear I can see a noticeable bump in my belly. My husband sees it too (I'm not crazy). I kept telling myself its just bloating but it feels pretty firm an it's not going down. I just don't think I would be this bloated 24hrs a day... It's gotta go down at some point, right? Is it too early to see a baby bump? I'm hoping its the baby, but it's also a little high than where I thought it would be. Just below my belly button. What do you think? We are telling our family the news tomorrow. It's would be fun to say "there it is" and point to my belly instead of "my belly is full of gas"... Lol

Haha aww. I think its just bloat.. I had it alot, at your stage, the baby is still very very small and sitting very low. The baby doesnt move up  in the belly button area until a lot later..
