A True Miracle

I wanted to share this picture before that big belly of mine is gone. With our baby due to makes his arrival in about 5 days, I'm feeling large and uncomfortable, but also a little nostalgic about losing this feeling. It's hard, yet amazing to know there is a baby that has been growing inside of me for 9 months. When you really sit and think about it, there are not many things in this world that you can call a miracle. But, being pregnant and watching your own body change for the body of someone else is what I'd consider a miracle. To think that another human's heart beats inside of the body where my own heart beats is astonishing!

I'm cherishing these last few days of pregnancy with relief and sadness. Ready for my body to come back to me, but well aware of the miracle of pregnancy.

"To be pregnant is to be vitally alive, thoroughly woman, and undoubtedly inhabited."
