who's got my belly button? no, really. who took it? or better yet, who squished it so far out from its original starting position that it is now flush with the rest of my skin? oh yeah, baby h, that's who. this kid's got a sick sense of humor already. i would post a picture, but it grosses ME out too much to inflict such disgustingness on anyone else (except the hubs). you should thank me for that.
i went to see dr wasabi (not really, but his real name does rhyme with it) on tuesday. he said i'm a little further than last week and asked how my contractions were coming along. when i told him i wasn't really having any, he looked at me funny and told me i was having one right then. huh. never would have thought what my belly (or uterus rather) was doing was a contraction; just thought the kid wasn't satsified with his previous attempts at dislodging my belly button completely so he was just pushing harder. nope, wasabi tells me. everytime my belly feels like a rock, it is actually my uterus contracting. good thing nobody told me that's what contractions feel like. (thanks, sisters.) i guess because i haven't been doubled over in pain with them, i didn't pay them much attention. not that that time won't come; i'm just really REALLY not looking forward to it.
oh, did i mention that baby h will have a name when he decides to arrive? too bad you won't get to know what it is until then. ha!
i know, i always would tell paul "oh my stomach is so hard because the baby is pushing out. i swear he's sticking his bum right through my side". it is uncomfortable, and is a contraction. now you know.
