Today was different. As I put on a pair of pants and realized that it wasn't going to work because the baby had grown bigger, it was the first time I wasn't self-conscious about my body.
For someone who has struggled with her weight for a while, this is a big deal.
I mean, there is a miracle growing inside my body right now. And even though I still haven't felt him move, but I've seen him many times (and there are many more times to come).
I'm be honest, we've had a lot of surprises (good and bad) through the 18 weeks of pregnancy. What with all the concerns, the extra doctor & specialist visits, the constant niggling worries that my body might fail my child; it's easy to get bogged down with something as mundane as a pair of pants (or leggings, or shirt, or dress) not fitting.
But today, I was okay with clothes not fitting and not feeling comfortable. Because my little miracle, my little boy, is growing right now in me.
So don't let the simple things get you down. You are a miracle, and there is so much out there for you to do.
The adventure awaits,
Cana
