Belly Button, Where Are You Going?

As my belly grows, I notice my belly button is shrinking. It gets tinier and tinier. I know soon it will pop out. Does that happen all at once? Or is it gradual? I suppose a little fresh air never hurt a belly button any. It has to make room for the baby below!

My belly seems so taut now. I know it will get bigger, but it is hard to imagine how. That's where stretch marks come in I guess. Pregnancy is not the sexiest. I have fuzz on my belly, a disappearing belly button, puffy ankles, dark circles under the eyes, a wide load in the rear, and a future of stretch marks! Luckily, most people look at pregnant people and smile. This may be the only time that all these qualities are deemed okay—cute even. So, I will enjoy it while I can as I wait for my ol' belly button to come back.
