Picture Journal - 11 weeks

So why is it that I realize now that the wall is not exactly the best of backgrounds? The texture in it is, admittedly, kinda cool but the whole trying to gauge any kind of growth is not going so well due to color and bumpiness. It sort of minimizes the stomach....but then maybe that's not exactly all bad. So there's been definite growth in 2 wks but it's just all really hard to see. Maybe I should change it up a little and try doing it against the inside wall or something. But sweet baby's heart beats and that's all that really matters. So it is that baby grows! Sonogram to find out just who grows within is set for Monday, June 14th. Seems like forever and a day away.


Despite how desperately longed for this baby is, it is always hard to watch everything expand that I have worked so hard at trimming down. Crazy but true. How can one wait so long for this and then have such a hard time watching it change and grow and expand? Even when it's so hard to embrace the changing body I am ever in love and so entirely grateful for a husband that sees beauty in me no matter what and is still desperately in love with every curve of my body. And how I love him and his faith in me to lose it all again after baby arrives and attain every goal I have ever set to run while pregnant and beyond. How I love how much he loves me and sees in me even what I fail to see...believes in me more than anyone else in life does. And how he continues to love the new curves just as he has the 8 times before this.
