As my tummy is growing with this baby, it's easy to feel unpretty. But really, it's a beauty all it's own. It's a beautiful miracle that God has given me to be able to experience this. I heard someone say that this is the only time I get to assist God in a miracle. So, I'll enjoy every moment.
My favorite song right now. (Except for the "paint my toes" part. I don't do that.)

Video by India Arie
Sometimes I shave my legs and sometimes I don't
Sometimes I comb my hair and sometimes I won't
Depend on how the wind blows I might even paint my toes
It really just depends on whatever feels good in my soul
I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be the india arie
When I look in the mirror and the only one there is me
Every freckle on my face is where it's supposed to be
And I know our creator didn't make no mistakes on me
My feet, my thighs, my lips, my eyes; I'm lovin' what I see
I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be the
india arie
Am I less of a lady if I don't wear pantyhose?
My mama said a lady ain't what she wears but, what she knows
But, I've drawn a conclusion, it's all an illusion, confusion's the name of the
game
A misconception, a vast deception
Something's gotta change
Don't be offended this is all my opinion
Ain't nothing that I'm sayin law
This is a true confession of a life learned lesson I was sent here to share with
y'all
So get in where you fit in go on and shine
Clear your mind, now's the time
Put your salt on the shelf
Go on and love yourself
'Cuz everything's gonna be all right
I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I Learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be the india arie
Keep your fancy drinks and your expensive minks
I don't need that to have a good time
Keep your expensive car and your caviar
All I need is my guitar
Keep your Kristal and your pistol
I'd rather have a pretty piece of crystal
Don't need your silicone I prefer my own
What God gave me is just fine
I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be india arie

You will always be beautiful not only because of your physical self but because of who you are on the inside. Even when you are old and wrinkly and grey and toothless, you will still be beautiful. Because that's who you are.
a lot of people believe that women are at the height of their beauty when they are pregnant. it brings out an inner glow and sense of peace that shows a lot.
I know when I was pregnant it was the only time I did not have to worry too much about my weight.
I could walk around proudly and loved how my tummy would stick out.
And I do agree with Jaci and Becky.
But Rach...I don't think you'll ever be toothless...it's a Hilburn thing ! LOL
Thanks everyone, you all made me smile, and/or laugh(Mama!). c
I will feel better when I am HUGE! I can't wait, really! I don't like the inbetween time.
Bring on the stretch marks, baby!
Alot of people don't get stretch marks from pregnancy. I didn't! Maybe you won't.
