Momma Bear Rant

I don't know if it's the hormones or the momma bear instincts, but I need to rant. Recently, I have noticed some serious negativity coming from pregnant women. And I get it. Yes, we gain tons of weight and our clothes stop fitting. Yes, attempting to sleep at night is often miserable. Yes, we feel sick and our bodies are not just our own right now.

But being pregnant is the best! I can't get over how blessed I am that God made me a mother. I can't get over how amazing it is that I get to grow a human that is half me and half the best person I know. I can't get over how wonderful my body is for changing the way it has and knowing exactly what my sweet baby needs. I can't get over how well my husband loves me and this baby already.

Being pregnant means I get the blessing of a beautiful baby. Being pregnant means I get to feel my child moving and growing inside of me. Being pregnant means feeling a whole new kind of love coming into my soul. Being pregnant means that at the end of all this, my amazing husband and I get to grow our marriage and use our teamwork to be PARENTS! 

Yes, pregnancy has its inconveniences, and I know I have been blessed with a healthy one so far. But no matter what happens to me or my body, I get to experience a beautiful miracle that some unfortunately do not. I will not take that for granted.

Being pregnant is amazing!
