belly button a-poppin'!!!

when i was staying in CA for two weeks in june/july this summer, i was flabbergasted when i noticed something.

i couldn't believe it.  my belly button started to pop out!  i called my husband, and told him (he was in AZ, painting while i was out there) that i kept trying to push it back in.  LOL.

i started to ask around, when did your belly button start to pop out?  i kept hearing late in the pregnancy, and honestly, i just felt ridiculous and out of place that mine started so soon- 20 weeks early?!  serious?!  i couldn't understand.  i researched, and couldn't find an answer.

i just learned to accept it.  i don't know why it happened so soon, but perhaps, it's because i'm carrying twins.  :)  i guess that's just how my body is, but it has been a strange transformation to see my innie as an innie, and now it's an outie... i just press against it, and it feels jelly.  LOL.  sometimes, it's even more peculiar to see my belly button move when i'm motionless, lying still...  that makes me feel like aliens are in my body, even though, i know that they aren't. :)
