no, i'm not referring to the awful looking patch of skin above my belly button. that, my friends, is my reminder of why people remove belly rings when they become pregnant. don't do what i did, "waiting and seeing" if you have to remove your belly ring until you wake up one day and it has ripped a hole in your skin and you're asking your dad (i do not trust adam to pull things out of my body after the whole hang nail debacle) to get his wire cutters and cut the ring out of your stomach because you've had the damn thing in for so long that it has welded itself shut making a simple removal possible.
no, i'm not referring to that at all. i'm talking about my pregnant belly sunburn. i've been spending the few days i have off from work lounging at my dad and stepmom's swimming pool. i usually wear my maternity tankini to the pool but today, i decided to wear my bikini top from last year, so i could get some sun on my middle-aged, midwest, football fan man stomach so it wouldn't look so pale compared to the rest of my body. bad. i.dea.
when i got home from the pool and removed my cover up, i saw that i had developed a huge red circle on my belly. i forgot that when i'm laying down my stomach is about five inches higher than the rest of my body, which means it got more sun than any other part of me. so now, here i am lying on my back almost completely naked because it hurts to wear clothes. my mom gave me a little robe to wear after i had told her the other day that i walk around the house naked in the middle of the night because i'm too tired to put clothes on. so now that's what i wear when i'm not lying in my bed, yelping everytime the sheets accidentally brush against my skin.
note to self: pregnancy does not make you immune to sunburns....although it may be causing a reduction in brain cells.
