Pics above are at 21 weeks! As you can see I removed my belly ring. My belly button was slightly uncomfortable due to stretching so I thought it would be easier on my skin to just remove the ring. I don't think the hole will close, but may be more prone to stretch marks in that area from the scar tissue. My inny has flattened and will likely be an outty soon. Weighing 137.5 this week... I don't know how I can keep gaining so much and baby Ariel is not even a pound yet! Back pain continues to make sleeping difficult and not very restful, but I have enjoyed stretching and mild exercises with my yoga ball. I also made it to the IMA for eliptical workout this week - first time in months... My energy is better than last trimester, but I need an afternoon nap on most days to make it through. Appetite is good as you can probably tell and the only new complaint this week, I was hoping to avoid until at least third trimester, hemorrhoids! I have self-diagnosed this, but will confirm with the midwife on the 11th and see what she suggests for treatment. The joys (and unpleasantries) of pregnancy... Little Ariel says hello with a couple kicks :).
