Every now and then I'll catch a glimpse of my changing body in a mirror and think, "What the heck, why am I so bloated!?" And then I remember: not bloated, PREGNANT. Having struggled with body image issues my whole life, I was afraid that I would despise my body as it stretches and grows to make room for this little one. But no. I am amazed at the life God is creating in me. I don't think I have ever loved my body more. And that is such a gift.
