The Phillips: Yikes! My "innie" is becoming an "outie"!!

Here are my 19 week pictures! If you look closely at the profile picture, you can see where my belly button has begun to pop out on the top half. I have no idea why it's only the top half, but it is! I was cleaning out my belly button last week, and took out my ring to do so, when I noticed this happening, so I thought it was probably best to just leave the ring out. I was/am sad that I have to lose it (since I've had it for 7 years!), but it's for a good enough cause! My belly measurements were again the same this week, but I think I've a grown a bit!

This was the weekend that we planned on getting the nursery painted, and the crib and changing table set up. Our house had another plan for us, though! We painted the nursery as planned, but then I decided to take a bath, and asked Matt to clean out the paintbrushes outside. He went out there to the street to wash them out with the hose, but noticed there was no water pressure. He looked up at the house, and noticed that water was leaking out of our garage! He ran up there and turned the water off, and looked in the garage and thought, "Oh NO!". Since the garage is right next to the nursery. Anyway, a pipe burst, or there's a crack in our foundation, or something (the builder is coming to look at it tomorrow), but the nursery carpet was totally soaking wet!! Luckily, it was only the floor, and no sheetrock that we had JUST painted, but we still don't know the exact source of it, and how hard it will be to fix. We had to rip up the carpet, cut off the pad underneath and throw it away, and make sure we got the carpet dried out this weekend. SO, we weren't able to get any farther than the painting...what luck! (please sense the sarcasm...)
