Fundus among us

So I've been jealous of women talking about being able to feel their fundus, showing a bump, etc, because I felt that as an overweight pregnant woman I would never feel these things. Tonight, though, I was rubbing on my belly. It comforts me, even though I'm not sure the baby can even feel it right now. I thought I felt something strange. I asked Matt to feel, as he knows a bit more about anatomy from nursing school than I do. "Do you feel that, that hard spot?" "Yes." "Is it bone?" "Nope." "I think it's the top of my uterus." "Yup, that's your fundus."
Hell yeah. I've got a goddamn fundus.
