Surgeries

Any parent can tell you that having ANY surgeries on your child is a terrible experience.  Anything from a tear duct probing to open heart surgery, if your child has to go under and be cut in any way, it sucks.  You soon realize that any friend of yours who has to have their child have a surgery, you relive your fears along side of them.  I know little to nothing about undescended testicles, but a friends boy, just a few months old is having surgery.  I pray all goes well and he goes home tonight as expected.

Owning my body.

Luckily, I have never been one to wear a 2 piece swimsuit.  I am used to covering my belly.  Stretch marks have been a part of my life since puberty.  In all honesty, I feel the most beautiful when my belly is huge and pregnant.

This last Sunday, I got a few of the pregnancy comments.  I got 3 "You look like you are ready to pop!" and 1 "And you're sure there is only 1 in there?".  I was 30 weeks 4 days pregnant.  A lot of women would let that get to them.  Am I gaining too much weight?  Is my body ruined now?  Do I really look that big/fat?  Well, I am owning my body.  I like my body.  I am up 9 lbs this whole pregnancy.  I am healthy.  Dorian is healthy.  I will just get bigger until he makes his debut, and I am just fine with that.
