24 Weeks old!!!

How do you say happy birthday to something that hasn't been born yet. For 24 weeks I've been trying to figure out a phrase to congratulate the Peanut for his/her weekly milestone. Nothing has really pleased me...

So yesterday I was working and I have a binder on my tummy to refer to. All of a sudden I felt a flutter in my belly and I SWEAR that that flutter made my binder move. Seriously!!!

I'm going to digress a bit to the whole birth 'plan' post from before.

So I looked up the definition of plan. Merriam-Webster online says the definition of 'plan' is 1: a drawing or diagram drawn on a plane: as a: a top or horizontal view of an object b: a large-scale map of a small area 2 a: a method for achieving an end b: an often customary method of doing something : procedure c: a detailed formulation of a program of action d: goal, aim3: an orderly arrangement of parts of an overall design or objective4: a detailed program (as for payment or the provision of some service)

Based on that definition and the fact that EVERYONE says we need a 'plan' but that this 'plan' is going to more than likely CHANGE...I have decided to call it our 'Birth Idea'. Apparently a true 'plan' is out of the question.

OH!!! I don't think I ever signed up for the whole belly button is going to change shapes! What in the world is THAT all about??? Holy Moly. How did I find this out you might ask. Well, oddly enough I was washing my belly and obviously the button is part of the belly washing. My finger went in and all of a sudden it didn't feel like MY belly button anymore. It's a foreign hole in the middle of my fast-growing belly. So now the question I ask myself is this, will my belly button ever be my belly button again?

When people told us life was going to change...they weren't kidding!!!
