Growing Pains

I'm having what I have been assured are normal, natural growing pains in my uterus. And the hurt. A lot. It feels like someone has run a string through my belly button and is pulling it downward persistently. I started to call my doctor, because it hurts, but while I was on hold I thought about how stupid I would sound. "Yeah, doc... my bellybutton hurts. What can you do about that?" So for now, I'm suffering with an ouchie bellybutton and sucker punched guts. As long as my baby is growing like it should, I'll take it!
