The Kindness of Pregnancy

I have a confession. I truly LOVE pregnancy.  To be fair, I admit that I’ve been  extremely  fortunate to have 3 entirely uncomplicated pregnancy experiences to date – not a single day of morning sickness,  a general feeling of overall wellness, and natural childbirths without complications. [This is certainly not the experience for many women, and I truly empathize with those who have been dealt a much more difficult hand of pregnancy and labor difficulties.] Don’t get me wrong - the exhaustion, the sleepless nights, and the constant adjustments of a growing body are real.  But the flutters of life inside of me – an actual human being growing inside my own body – is a phenomenon that literally leaves me in awe every single day. I actually embrace the extra pounds and body curves, because I am providing extra building blocks for another life. I feel strong, empowered, and beautiful when I think about the way our Creator entrusts my body with this incredible process.
