As you may have noticed, my name is Kim. Actually, my full name is Kimberly. What you may not know, however, is that my name was originally going to be Tony or Skyler. That's an odd name for a girl, isn't it? That's because my parents thought I was going to be a boy.

Sixteen weeks out and I still have that pesky little brown line trailing up my tummy, cutting around my navel and fading away as it approaches my rib cage. It's called a linea nigra, and it's driving me nuts. When it first appeared, I was midway through my third trimester already.
