Wanna see something gross?
That's my belly button. Gross, huh? I got it pierced back in April of 2000 (so almost eight years ago) and I've had a little gold barbell in there pretty much ever since. This was a hard thing for me to do, since I'm a total sissy when it comes to needles and pain and stuff. I suffered for over nine months waiting for this bad boy to heal. It turned out I was allergic to the metal in the original jewelry, which is why I had a gold piece in there.
Well, now I'm pregnant. And guess what? That's right, you can't keep that cute little barbell in there once your belly starts stretching and expanding. I came across this product called a pregnancy piercing in a couple of magazine articles, so I figured, what the heck? I'll give it a shot.
It came today. First thing, I managed to get one of the little balls to fall off it's post. Grr. It wouldn't come out of it's tubing! Thank goodness for the jewelry pliers, I was able to get it out eventually. A spare (in gold, blech) came in the package, so I'm using that until I can get another pink one. I emailed the website to see about getting a replacement end ball.
It was so funky to put the tube in. It was a little hard, since the tube is soft and flexible, unlike the rigidness of the metal jewelry. Once I got it in, I put rubbing alcohol on it and kinda flossed it and giggled, while my husband rolled his eyes at me. Hey, what can I say, I'm easily amused!!!
In other news, guess what I'm making?
That's right, red velvet again! I'm doing a regular cake this time instead of cupcakes, so I doubled the recipe. We'll see how it turns out. Tomorrow is the final night of my Wilton 1 class. Next week, I start fondant! WOOT!
If you've never tried this stuff:

those ve;vet cupcakes looked yummy.. bet the cake will be too, I haven't made one for years, I might have to try my hand at them again, I like how cupcakes are really 'in' now
Huh, a pregnancy piercing. Who'd of thought. I'll have to show that to my sister someday. She was brave enough to pierce her belly button. Not me - getting my ears done was challenge enough.
The cake sounds yummy! How many weeks is the Wilton class? Always sounds interesting, but it's one of those things I forget as soon as I've thought about it. Does that make sense??
That is one smart invention, I always wondered what pregnant ladies did on those cases, also I left you something on my blog!
