Sorry this post is a day late but I've been busy with a boat load of school assignments and lately it seems that I have the IQ of room temperature so things are taking me a bit longer.
Mini A has grown to roughly the size of an apple, hence grandma smith packing heat. It can wiggle its toes and fingers and whattoexpect.com says it's eyes are moving to the front of it's face. Wait what????? Where exactly were they?
It also said that now I should be gaining about a pound a week and belly should really start growing. I've read in some of these pregnancy message boards that ladies are worried about their belly buttons popping out. I, on the other hand, can't wait!
There are two surefire ways to get me to gag to the point of vomiting:
1) That little bit of water that comes out before the ketchup, and
2) Touching my belly button.
And since I have an extremely deep belly button it is nearly impossible for me to sufficiently clean into the abyss. Honestly, it's been so long I have no idea what is growing/hiding/fermenting in there. I read a story once about a morbidly obese women who would find sandwiches days later in her folds, so who knows, maybe I'll find lunch.
Anyway, I'm really hoping that it will pop out slightly so I can really give it a good wipe out/down. However, I know that not all buttons pop and everyone is different, blah blah blah... but I figure there are 3 bb possibilities that I should look out for:
 |
| 1) Perfect little pop. Easy to clean and adorable. |
 |
| 2) The entire thing pops out at once and Andy's can say "Deine mutter hat drei bosom" to our kid.
|
 |
| 3) It continues to recede deeper and deeper and I must swing by the local prison turn it into an animal's asshole. |
I'm publicly hoping for the first option, but secretly I really do like cats.
Next Wednesday we have our first appointment at the hospital (all the others have been with my GP and the radiology place). I believe we will be working out what mode of care I'll be using and where I'll go for my fortnightly appointments in the third trimester. I'm pretty sure I'll be seeing the midwifes at Nundah Community Health but it is the public health system so....
