Bellybutton

Z,

I think you should know that very interesting things are happening to my bellybutton.

It seems to be flattening out on one side, and I am sure that eventually it will disappear completely. I feel you more and more each day. It’s like you’re doing somersaults in there and is reminiscent of butterflies popping popcorn in a field of bubbles. I attempted to draw a picture of said butterflies popping popcorn in a field of bubbles but your mama isn’t a very good artist. Oh well.

Being able to feel you move reassures me that everything is okay. You’re growing!!! This week, your cartilage is turning into bone. I am still amazed that all of this is happening inside of me and I feel lucky that I get to experience it! I can’t wait for the next development.

Your daddy is very excited when I tell him I can feel you move. He has taken to putting his mouth up to my belly and talking to you. It’s pretty adorable.

Until next time,
Mama
