chman: welcome...Bullwinkle from Winder Ga here.
Looks like you are getting the hang of things....
A few observations...
"I know it looks pregnant" (your quote not mine", my answer is not at all! Shaping is a nice touch esthetically and in my case (I have huge hands) any I turn for myself are either wider styles or slimlines I intentionally make pregnant (fits my paws better).
Second, almost ALL kit sellers tell folks that slimlines are the easiest. In my opinion, not true, but they are cheap kits so good to get started on as you won't waste a lot of money if one goes wrong. Second, do not be intimidated by so called hard to turn styles. We all make errors and this is how we learn. Lastly, it is hard to tell from your photos (photography to show off pens is an art in itself-why I haven't posted any here) but finish is most important. You want your creation to "pop" when someone sees it. I won't waste a lot of time re inventing the wheel as there are tons of forums here on the subject. I will say take your time and try to get it as smooth as glass, then use a finish you are comfortable with. I have tried CA many times and my results have been awful. Some of the nicest wood pens I have seen are CA finished. Acrylics are great and properly polished out to 12000 grit are awesome. Also, take a try at stabilized blanks. A little more costly, but all you do is sand down and NO finishing is required. Be sure to use continually finer grades and NOT skip any. In a nutshell, sanding produces scratches (it is an abrasive) and the objective is to get the scratches finer and finer until they aren't visible. When I started years ago, I was so thrilled at my newly acquired turning skill, that I cut corners finishing the turned material (I think we all did at first, as the turning itself is addictive). Take your time! The relaxation it brings is its best reward.... Bullwinkle
