The strangest thing happened last night. I went to the gym for my water aerobics class and squeezed into that teeny weeny bikini. I must say that the top fits better and looks much nicer these days. However….the bottoms are tighter around the hips, thighs and butt. I had to triple check that not too much “cheek” was hanging out before I went to the pool.
Anyway, after I snuggled into the bottoms, I turned and caught my reflection in one of the bit locker room mirrors. And you know what? I really liked what I saw. My big old belly was hanging out, my butt, hips and thighs are thicker, and in general I’m a lot rounder and curvier. It looked great—I’m not saying that I looked fantastic in a bikini, not by any means! But for the first time I really, truly appreciated how and why my body has changed and what a miracle and blessing it is for my body to be in this state.
I am very grateful and hope to always find it in me to look at that bikini reflection with an appreciative eye!
Today….well, I just feel really, really big. And I’m only 30 weeks. Sigh.
(30 weeks, 2 days)
