How beautiful and thought provoking. Something I need to remember for sure. It always makes me sad when I see people posting about how they are just tired of being pregnant. I obviously don't know their feelings and can't imagine the discomfort but the fact that our bodies can house a living baby is so amazing to me. I hope that I will enjoy it when my time comes.
