I feel pretty! Oh so pretty!

There are few times in my life where I can look back and say I felt 'good' about how I looked.  I've always been critical and had a hard time seeing the positive things.  I've never felt super feminine or 'girly' or 'pretty'.  Even when I would get compliments or honks or whistles, I figured those people had pretty low standards ;)

Now that I'm almost 23 weeks pregnant and my baby belly is making an official appearance...I have to say, I've never felt more PRETTY!  I've never felt more feminine or girly than right now.  (I realize that may change when I'm 40 weeks pregnant ;)  But for now...I'm completely enjoying my reflection and the way growing a baby has changed my appearance.  I'm in awe of my body and how God has made it perfectly to create life inside me.  I'm humbled to be used in His Creation process.

Each little kick and movement I feel reminds me of the miracle taking place in my 'baby bump'.  So incredibly blessed to be gaining weight as I love and protect this little life inside.
