We have both known for as long as we can remember that we wanted to have kids. We decided to start down the road to parenthood about three years ago, beginning with research. In May of 2004 we began inseminating, and in July, we hit the jackpot. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a partial molar pregnancy, and we endured a miscarriage, followed by months of medical treatment, monitoring, and frustration. We began trying to conceive again in May 2005 (against our doctor's advice). We were lucky to get pregnant again in July. Despite our fears and worries, this pregnancy went smoothly and ended with a wonderful home birth and a beautiful baby girl. A new chapter begins....

Wooohooooo!!!!
But, then, we all know this has been a charmed pregnancy since day one, so I really shouldn't be surprised. =)

I never got an outie so maybe Jen won't either!
Can't wait to hear about harpo's arrival.

Congratulations! I know you were every bit as wigged out about getting an outie as I was. And I didn't either!
One thing I discovered post-partum is that I actually did get a linea negra, which I thought I didn't get. It was just light and stretched enough to be invisible while I was hugely pregnant.

An innie! I had an innie until I was seven. What's that about? It's getting so close! It's so exciting!

I didn't ever get an outie (I thought the whole idea was horrid)... so maybe you will be lucky.
Mind you I didn't get any strech marks until he was 10 days overdue either!!!

Nobody said anything about stretch marks, sadly. Observant viewers may have noticed that the photo was cropped extremely tight - that was no accident! I most definitely have stretch marks. My stomach is corrugated. No joke. And you WILL NOT be seeing photographic evidence.

Even if yours does pop out, it'll probably go back. My navel kind of popped, but mostly it just looked gross. The linea negra pigment got in there and reeked havoc. Anyway, it is back to its good ole self now- an innie.
Hoping you're feeling well (or at muddling through) in this last stretch. So excited for you both!

Mine was an outie (what's with the fear of outies?) at the end of pregnancy, and now it's a cavernous innie. Super super cavernous. I-can't-see-the-back-of-my-own-navel cavernous.

I'm with art-sweet (hi art-sweet!) The concavity seems to be approaching convexity.
But! I add hastily, it is still a GREAT looking belly button.

I have been looking for the right word for my stretch marks since around month 6. My stomach and the fronts of my thighs are also corrugated.

Yay for term!
Once an innie, always an innie.
Love the nursery (catching up here). Happy almost baby!

HA HA HA. Good for her. Is it really an innie or more of a flattie? Mine was kinda flat without sticking in or out.
How are you guys feeling?????
