18 weeks - Oh my goodness, my belly button is changing!

I don't know if it was all the food I ate over Christmas, but somehow my belly magically doubled in size over the past couple of days. I looked in the mirror on Christmas afternoon and realized that my belly seemed bigger, so I lifted up my shirt, and lo and behold my belly button had changed! It is becoming stretched out and more shallow! I was already feeling moody, and for some reason this changing belly button made me a bit teary. I am certainly excited to be pregnant, but it is hard for me to have my body change so drastically. I need to make up my mind to embrace it, and it is certainly helpful that other people seem to find pregnant bellies adorable. Last night I got dressed to go out, and my brother and sister both thought that I looked really cute, so they made me pose for a picture. Ta-daa!
