Loving My Body

If being pregnant has taught me anything thus far, it’s taught me that you really have to have a sense of humor. Being pregnant means you are 50% Victoria’s Secret Model and 50% beer-bellied old man. Here I am with nails and hair that are as thick and shiny as they have ever been… BUT WAIT I’m also burping more than I ever have in my life. And this lovely pair of boobs that I’ve now found myself with are accompanied by an equally round belly that rivals those of the fellas at the local pool hall.

I’m learning to embrace the new, rounder me - because let’s face it - the female body is downright AWESOME for its ability to grow a new person. So even though I barely fit into any of my pretty underthings - and I’m squeezing myself into my favorite pair of jeans - my body is proving itself worthy of praise far greater than the kind you get for posing in a swimsuit catalog.
