Allow me to introduce you to my new friend- my belly. The thing I have always been most curious about in regards to pregnancy is what it must feel like to suddenly have your stomach grow uncontrollably. In the last couple of weeks I have suddenly noticed my belly becoming larger. It gets in the way when I bend down to put on my shoes. It aches now and then and I can literally feel it stretching and growing.Most curiously- my once "innie" belly-button is slowly but surely becoming an "outie". I've acquired that vertical, dark line called the linea-nigra (I read my books!) And in the evenings when I lay on the couch to watch t.v. my belly starts it's evening ritual of little pokes, kicks, and manouvers. The little man is practicing his rugby. And I can literally see the movements underneath my skin sometimes.
This belly is a strange and wonderful thing.
Chris took this photo tonight as a joke. But I actually find it amazing. My belly at 21 weeks. xo
