A perfect gift

I recently read a blog lately talking about the typical pregnant women who spend there pregnancy obsessing over their bellies. Taking maternity pictures of the father kissing the belly, the mother taking skinned photos of there in larged bellies, non stop blog post. She expressed how wrong and uncomfortable those who aren't pregant feel. 

1. It starts inside 

Going nine whole months to develop a human. All those nights you stayed up tossing and turning, eating all day everyday, the morning sickness, the swollen feet, the stretch marks and the preparation of the nursery. Those are things you do to prepare for the body and while doing those things you are only dreaming of what it will be like when your child gets here.

2.the love a mother has for her children

Its safe to say when having your child despite everything you go through when you are in labor when the child is actually there and you hold your kid for the first time it's a out of the body experience. That first time you see and hold your kid it's like you've known them your whole life. That saying 

" your the only one who knows my heart from the inside out" -unknown 

They are totally and completely dependent on you. You become a whole with that child. Your missing spot in your heart is filled the moment you feel that baby kick inside for the first time.

3. Everything that happens after the baby

That pre pregnancy body is a tough one to over come. Your hips and rib cage are now wider, you have stretch marks in places you didn't think you could get, your house is a total reck and you smell like spit up, you haven't showered in days, and you have gotten barely any sleep All because you would rather be with your baby and playing, cuddling and loving your child. That one smile makes everything worth it I promise

Being a mother is an amazing gift from God. The things a mother goes through for her children is a big sacrifice but we do it cause there is no greater feeling than seeing our beautiful creations grow into something beautiful and amazing.
