Ode to my Belly Button

Okay, no, I am not going to subject you to a poem about my belly button but I am fascinated with it lately...you see, I have always had a very deep one...I'm talking DEEP...I could stick half my pinky finger into it...now, I can see then end of it...it hasn't actally popped, it's still an inny...but I can actually turn it inside out now...I'm thinking, in the next few weeks it will pop...& this fascinates me!!

In other news...I had an ultrasound this afternoon...at 35 weeks my Girl is now estimated at 7 lbs 10 oz...this doesn't freak me out as much when I found out she was 6 lbs. I am reassured that although she is a big baby, she is growing consistantly & developing well...her heart looks great, she has a strong heart rate, her lungs look well developed, we even got to watch her practice breathing!!

Now I am counting down the days...1st, 2 more weeks of work! Just 10 more work days!! It could not come soon enough...this getting up at 5am is just not fun anymore!! 2nd, 5 more weeks until my due date...as intimidating as the thought of delivering a 9+ lb baby is, I really hope she holds out until at least the week of March 7th so that I can have a few weeks off work before she arrives.

I am ready for her though...I cleaned, organized & put away all her clothes this past weekend, her cradle is in my room now, I've set up the cloth diaper service...I'd just really like some rest & relaxation before she arrives...

  1. My belly button is deep, but not quite as deep as yours is, so I've been fascinated this week to start being able to see the bottom of mine, too! LOL

    I can't believe you're 35 weeks! I hope the next two weeks at work fly by, and you get a least a week of rest before she decides to make her appearance!

  2. Ha, ha! That's so funny! I have never thought about the intrigues of the pregnant belly button eversion :) Mine is an inny too, but it's really tiny and I can see the bottom of it quite easily. I cannot imagine it EVER popping out!

    Not long now Tiara, so exciting!! Good luck and I hope she's not in a hurry so that you can get some rest before you start your new job...as a mum :)

  3. I think I'm starting to freak out a little that you're so close to your due date!! It doesn't feel that long ago you were announcing your pregnancy... crazy how time flies!

    Hope the next 2 weeks flies by and you have a few days to put your feet up before your little (big!) girl arrives :)

  4. You're in the home stretch now. I remember those days. Enjoy, get some rest (if you can). PS. Have you stocked up on batteries for your camera and swing? Definitely will need lots of those soon!

  5. Funny! Mine never popped. Maybe because I carried low.
