Changes

I can honestly say, I have loved seeing my body grow each week. There is nothing more amazing than knowing that my body is my babies home until he is here in my arms. In the last 9 months I maybe complained of my growing belly... maybe twice! In fact, many weeks I asked Derek "does my stomach look too small?" Only when pregnant do you think your "too small". Many people comment that I look so tiny. Around 30 weeks people began saying how small I looked and it really began to bother me. I didn't want to be "tiny"... I wanted to be just right.. Just right meant baby is just right! Lots of times when friends, family & strangers would say Im tiny, I wanted to bring it to their attention that saying Im tiny is just as bad as saying Im big. A 30 week, hormonal pregnant lady worries when people tell her she is small. Also, don't people remember what I looked like when I began this whole thing called pregnancy. I was tiny to begin with... this belly now... is not tiny! Luckily my doctor always reconfirmed my worries and every appointment said "Your right on track".

Anyway, now that I went on a rant about that... Lets remember what I looked like months before baby boy existed.

I may love my growing belly but Im not about to put a 37 week belly pic next to this picture. Your welcome to scroll down & compare the two pictures. Clearly, I have grown & clearly I am no longer "tiny". One day I'll attempt to be "tiny", then again... this journey of pregnancy and my soon to be journey of motherhood is far more important that how my body looks. He is 110% worth all the changes my body has endured!
