Disappearing Navel

My navel is disappearing. Hello more belly, good-bye belly button.

The Curly Hair Gene?

Relief. It turns out that Ben also has the same satellite of DNA on chromosome 22. So, boogie baby is alright. Or at least he's got whatever dad's got - curly hair, propensity for puns, skinny legs? Interestingly, Ben's aunt may have the same satellite. She had amniocentesis with both of her children, and she and the kids all had a "chip" on one of their chromosomes - it's 20 years ago, so we don't know which chromosome, but I expect it's the same. Funny, the cousins don't spout off puns, but they do have curly (wavy) hair...

So, now we get to focus on being pregnant! I'm in my 21st week, already half way. I can feel boogie baby tap-tap-tapping, dance-dance-dancing every so often. So fun yet very weird to have an alien in my belly.
