Have I ever mentioned my weird and insensible fear that my belly-button will one day come undone and my all of my insides will fall out? I just have this crazy mental picture of standing there and watching all of my intestines and gut fall out through the belly-button hole. Ewwww. Hence, I refuse to have that part of my anatomy touched/examined/poked in any way...for fear of upsetting the belly-button glue holding it all together. Yes, I know this is not a rationale thought and the scientist in me laughs hysterically. Yet, I still think it is perfectly true.
Well...this thought leads me to my now growing abdomen and now stretching belly-button. Just last night, I'm lying there watching TV, feeling the little jabs from inside, and I realize that my belly-button isn't quite as deep as it was in the past. I am desperately praying that the sucker stays intact (nothing falls out) and that it stays pointing inward. Just the thought of it popping out gives me additional heeby-jeebies!

New Fruit = Squash
It's a new month and time for a new fruit! I'm officially settled into the third trimester and in month 7.According to the web, our little guy is growing rapidly now and about 15.5 inches long. I often don't think of him curled up like a squash...especially when he's having a party on my bladder or kicking me squarely in the ribs!
