103...that's how hot it was on Saturday when the heat became a bigger issue than hiding my big ole pregnant self. And not only did I give in and go swimming at a pool filled with college students, but I also wore one of my pre pregnacy BIKINI'S...okay, okay, I had a cover on but the cover (to my horror) I soon discovered was TRANSPARENT when wet. Haha, those college students got more than they bargained for that day ;) But surprisingly, I found myself embracing my "bump" (ahem, more the size of a basketball) and enjoying myself. This miracle, I realized, is something to flaunt...what is more beautiful than the gift of life?? The next day, I picked a very snug maxi dress that showed every angle of my ever growing belly and you know what? I LOVED it =) Every time another woman smiled at me, or I looked down, I was reminded of this amazing thing happening inside of me. I am so so blessed and never again will I think of my "bump" as a nuisance or an inconvenience.
"For You created my innermost being; You knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made." Psalm 139: 13-14
