If baby is down "there", why is...

If the little 2-inch fetus is down near my pubic hair line (that's where I find it with the doppler), then why is my gut pooching out starting just below my boobs???

Your uterus is pushing things up. The first thing that pops on me is the top of my stomach. Even at 20 weeks the top of my stomach is bigger than the bottom.

Yes as your uterus grows out of the pelvic cavity, it usually pushes your other organs upwards (and eventually outwards!). This is also why your chest diameter increases--eventually your organs end up partially in your ribcage.
I've never had that cute little paunch thingy, my belly has always started right below the boobage. I'm short, though. I think taller people have more room for all their guts so they're the ones that get the little basketball.
