So here I am at almost 39 weeks, and surprise, surprise... not getting any smaller just yet...
Some people see my big round voluptuousness that is impending motherhood and exclaim "oh you are big" or "oh you are huge" or "Are you sure you're not having twins??" Even my Mother, yesterday!!
These comments leave me, at times, a little bewildered... I think "did you not get the Memo... that I am Pregnant ?? !!!" It' s not FAT you know! Okay... well some is :)
I guess sometimes people think they are being funny, or witty... or don't think, or not sure what to say? I'm not sure... most the time I do find it amusing, AND...
Flip side to such comments are my sisterhood, including the gorgeous Martha (who does have twins), they all exclaim: oh look at you gorgeousness, look at that big round beautiful miracle belly... you look amazing...
With positive or negative comments... I still feel the same... I feel amazing! I feel like the Goddess Woman I AM ... doing what I have been created to do, what I am designed to do, made to do.
I feel blessed and in a total state of grace. I feel at one with my sisterhood of faith... I do have my moments and days were I am feeling totally exhausted... but for the main part I am loving these last weeks...
I am a bit teary as I write this post... I love being pregnant so much, I love the miracle that is the female body, I love that I am fortunate to be doing this a third time... I am not sure if we will have another {we hope to, but not sure}... I mourn for the end of another amazing pregnancy... another incredible, blessed experience... I mourn especially because it may be my last.
I prepare for what I hope will be a wonderful birth, grateful that I have my belly casts and a few photos to show exactly how much I adored carrying life inside of me and how very blessed I feel to be able to do so.
I never take this for granted & think often and pray for my sisterhood still on their journey to becoming Mother... I know the day will be soon.
I share this lovely site > I have the book and CD and it has been a beautiful gift.
I have taken to leaving voice messages beginning with "Its Bek, I'm not in labour...." and answering the phone as "Gorgeous Pregnant woman speaking..." gave my younger sister Lee a great laugh yesterday afternoon.
Love out...
Bxo
