The best part of being pregnant

Last night during our walk Shawn asked me what has been the best part of being pregnant. Without much hesitation, I responded, "feeling baby move and kick." Now, true this can be one of the more difficult or dare I say painful parts of pregnancy in that some times I feel like baby girl is trying to kick out my right side. But in all honestly, it is truly amazing getting to feel my little one moving about. It reminds me every time how awesome it is to be a mother, to give life to another human being. I don't know if there are enough words to explain how amazing it is to feel the baby move. Yes, it can be frightening when you see a huge arm or leg extend from your belly. But you must look at the bigger picture and realize what a miracle motherhood really is. I feel bad for men in that they can't even begin to fathom the incredible feeling us women get to experience. Yes, the past few weeks may have been rough at times, but I am so honored and consider myself truly blessed to call myself a mom. Hopefully, I can keep this all in the forefront of my mind once I go into labor and the real fun begins.
