An Ode...

(Yes, this is my uncovered baby bump!  Don't worry, this is the most you'll EVER see of it!)

to my belly button!  One thing I was dreading (for no reason other than how vain I am) was the day that my belly button would pop out the opposite direction.  Here I am at 39 and 3/7th of the way and the belly button remains in tact!  I am so proud of it, and I think we have made it through the storm!  

But really, I am so grateful for my body.  Yes I am a girl so of course I have my "list" of things that that I would change or get rid of if I could, but my body has been so amazing this pregnancy.  I have been SO very lucky to have had a very easy, and uncomplicated pregnancy.  When I found out I was pregnant I didn't even get sick until weeks 13,14 and even then I think those were brought on by the cruise.  I was rarely sick, I was able to still go to work and feel fine, I don't even have any stretch marks (thank you long torso!).  I didn't ever have any weird or strange cravings and everything has been smooth!  I have many pregnant friends who sadly have not been as fortunate, and I don't share this to rub it in, I really just wanted to say thank you!  I don't know why I have been so lucky, but I grateful that I have been. I know girls who are sick 90% of their pregnancy and I take my hat off to you!  I don't know how you do it, or how you would ever want to be pregnant again.  Right now (pre-kids) Zack and I say that we still want about 5 kids(some of you may be laughing at us, which is fine)...with such an easy pregnancy that is looking more like a possibility!  Thanks body!  You have been wonderful!  Now, lets get this baby out :)
