Week 18

This week I am 18 weeks along. I can't believe I'm pretty much half way! I really, really can't believe it. They will be here in just about 4 short months. Everyone says it flies by and it really does.
I want to spend more time relishing the beauty of pregnancy, the miracle of it and the the wonder of it all. I want to really just LOVE the new shape my body is taking, and I'm getting there! I'll admit, it's a little funny sometimes to see this protruding, round belly on me when my whole life I have been used to seeing myself just one way. It's hard to wrap my mind around what is happening inside me. But I do think a big, pregnant belly is gorgeous because of what it means. I think all pregger women are beautiful. I sort of want time to slow down because I feel like it goes faster than I have the time to take it in. I have such a new found respect for my body for what it's been going through and what its doing everyday. Plus, it doesn't hurt to have a husband who is in love with my new look, who smiles the most adorable smile every time he looks at my belly. Well, only 20 more weeks to go!
