Aliens and My Missing Belly Button

The Serene One and I were looking at the movie listings the other day in preparation for the three day weekend. Alien vs. Predator: Requiem was at the top of the list. (I'm ashamed to say I really enjoyed the first one.) AVP 2 actually got a B in Entertainment Weekly. We were pretty happy with the choice until I got further into the review:

"The money shot? A pregnant woman's belly explodes, revealing a litter of baby aliens."

The Serene One kindly suggested that we wait until after the baby is born before we go see it. I think this has to do with the fact that I freaked out this week when my belly button vanished.

I never really appreciated my little round bellybutton until it turned into a sort of tiny, wonky cross. One of the rugger wives comforted me by saying she gained 50 lbs with each pregnancy and lost it all afterwards.

I can't help wondering though: will I recognize my ol' bellybutton when it comes back?

What did they have to say about the sympathy weight gain by the husband? From experience, the first time around I ended up with a net gain of 20lbs. I thought I would have to change my nickname to pudgyman.

Mine has come back in an unrecognizable form...now it's huge and cavernous! Scary!

We should go into business selling "stick on" belly buttons with a 3-D like photo adhesive.
