Popping/cracking noise from belly

Anyone else experienced this? It’s so subtle and quiet, but definitely audible! It’s almost like occasional little pops/cracks. No pain or discomfort with it, just bizarre! Thought I might be hearing things but my partner heard it too 😂 I’m 30 weeks.

Birthday cake Inspiration…

I am a baker by profession but used to getting people tell me what they want their cakes to look like. My daughter’s 2nd birthday is on Sunday and I have no inspiration for her cake at all. It will be Bluey/dog themed and that’s all I know 😅🤦🏼‍♀️. Spam the comments with your 2nd birthday cakes or just kids…
