A lot of things can cause your belly to change size from day to day. Some examples are fluid intake and retention, gas, how much you eat (and what kinds of foods), and believe it or not even whether you are doing a lot of sitting instead of walking around a lot. It all sounds a bit crazy, but in the early months you'll feel huge some days and small the others. As the baby gets bigger and starts moving its position, you're belly will continue to look different from day to day. Just wait until the baby feels and looks like it's trying to come out one side so you have a huge lump on one side and almost flat on the other! I'm not a doctor so I can't tell you if anything is wrong, but belly size changing and the shape changing seems to be fairly normal (or at least it was for me in my pregnancies). Good luck!
