Unraveling Belly Button....

As a child I was quite certain that the doctor in charge of tying up my belly button may have failed in someway and that sucker was due to unravel at any moment. It's a secret fear that my belly button would unravel and I would just spill out. Kind of like when you think you tied the water balloon and as soon as you release it, your covered in water.

When I was little, I would peer into my belly button; yes into (I have an extreme inny with a slight protrusion...a nubbin if you will). I hated the way it looked all smooth and then that weird bubble and so deep in I had to stretch my belly to get a good look at it.

As I get further into my pregnancy, my childhood fascination with my belly button has surfaced. I peer, I touch it and ask other people to touch it. It is moving closer and closer to the rim of my belly and today it changed to a dingy brown color. It looks like a M&M fell in and I didn't clean it out good enough. Hmmm, I hope that isn't what happened. Either way the dark colored circle is rising to the surface...and I am hoping it doesn't unravel!
