The Strangest Thing

So yesterday I was noticing that my partner was looking oddly slimmer than she has in a awhile. I thought nothing of it, but then she mentioned it, too, a little later in the day. It seems her belly has creeped upwards, to the point where she's carrying the baby totally differently now. It's all tucked away in her abdomen, like she's gone from being clearly pregnant back to looking slightly bloated. Pregnancy is weird.

She also noticed that her belly button has changed this week, another one they don't tell you much about in the baby books. It's not a full-on outie yet, but it's in this kind of transitional state. It's like a shallowey. I also wondered if my own sympathetic pregnancy is expressing itself as fuller fingernails. I can't seem to cut them fast enough these days. Maybe I'm just lazy, though. That's definitely a possibility.

Anyway, not much else to report this fine day. I hope you had a wonderful week. Things have been hectic in these parts, and I've been vividly imagining all that's going to happen when we get settled in our new city. Who will our friends be? What will our hang out spots look like? How will the trip westwards be? We just need to stay focused for the next couple of weeks, and it will all unfold swimmingly, I'm sure.

Thanks for reading, and have yourself a great weekend!
