I just learned two new words – Inee and Outee – from my free weekly newsletter from Pregnancy Weekly. They are nouns used to describe the appearance of a belly button. An inee is a belly button that is inverted. An outee is its converse.

My belly button has been feeling rather taut and sometimes, sore, after a full meal. For a while, I was a bit concerned about what was happening to my belly button. But now, I feel so much better knowing that it is all part and parcel of pregnancy. The growing uterus presses against the belly button, making it pop out. So, my belly button is just on its way of becoming an outee. As far as I can see, it’s quarter-way there!
