My ever-expanding waistline

Last week I officially removed my belly button ring after having worn this particular one since my wedding day (it was my "something blue") and having had it pierced for 12 years. I don't recognize my belly button. I liked having it covered up! But now it is even more unattractive than usual because it has popped, like the timer in a turkey. It will pop even more as time goes on, but as you can see, my ring is pretty much standing at attention if I try to wear it. Hopefully I can go back to wearing it after the birth because I really don't like belly buttons especially my own.

Here are also some more pictures taken at what I believe is the beginning of week 24. I still can't figure out what week or month I am in. I think it is week 24 and somewhere around the beginning of month 6.



We can now see Gia moving around from the outside. Pretty cool stuff. We'll be watching TV at night and I find I've missed most of the show because I am just staring at my belly. Or my dog. Both which I selfishly proclaim are the cutest things ever.
