Belly Button in or out? It's getting sooooo close to popping.

What I am looking forward to: The rib pain to just go numb already.!!!! Follow up doctors appointment.
Weekly Wisdom: You can't do things you used to (ie zip line at the play ground).

Baby growth update- According the book he should be almost a pound and 20 cm long. Looks like he is shorter and fatter than the book says ;-) His pancreas is developing and functioning.

I'm supposed to be still emotional, but really I feel like my normal self. I cry at watching births on TV, not because it is so beautiful (although it is), it is because I'm so scared of the pain. I can see why women are so anxious to be done the closer they get to their due date. With this burning pain in my right upper quadrant, I am so ready to be done. It hurts so bad that I think my muscle is literally ripping off my ribs. And its only 23 weeks. Pray for me.
