Timer Popped?

This past weekend was a really busy weekend for me which is why I haven't taken a photo of the new fan in the nursery. It's a great fan, actually quiet and moves quite a bit of air. It's nice looking too. I should mention that the fan we had in there (old, noisy, and inefficient) was broken when Chris was moving the mattress and box springs out of the room. I can't say I'm heart broken about having to replace it, it's just now less money for other things we still need to get.

Speaking of things to get, I had a nightmare/anxiety dream a few weeks back about not having a car seat. Last night, I had it again. Basically it consists of me being at the hospital with this baby that I can't take home because I never got a car seat. So Chris and I have to leave the hospital without the baby. My subconscious is obviously very worried about the car seat! I've promised it this morning that I'd work on it!

So the question of the weekend seemed to be about my belly button. It came up not once, not twice, but THREE times! It's a popular question. So, to answer it, no, my "timer" has not popped like a turkey's. I in fact seem to have a deep belly button and am very sorry to disappoint everyone by informing you that I do not have an "outtie". It's just my regular old belly button.

On another baby note, it appears that Nicole C. from work had her baby this past Saturday, I send many congrats to her and her new family member!

I also want to say to Penny, that I really appreciate her reading and encouraged support. Sometimes I feel like I come off as a jerk or that I don't care, but she seems to really understand that it's neither. It's just sort of amusing the situations we can be in, and the way that others are effected by it. She also gets that it can be funny and frustrating (all at the same time) about questions people ask and the advice other people feel compelled to pass along. I've read enough to know that complete strangers will feel the need to touch my stomach bursting past the "personal bubble"; surprisingly, I've become okay with it (more so than I thought). I've also accepted the fact that people are going to ask me personal questions for which they won't want to hear the answer. I'm getting used to this, and am finding good ways to politely not answer the question, or to in fact give the real answer that either disgusts or annoys the questioner in such a way they will be too traumatized to ask such a personal question of someone they really don't know. Wondering if you are one of these people? Don't worry, you more than likely aren't. You'll have heard from me by now if you were.
