The Beauty of My Body

Now five pregnancies in and I have realized that this is just what my body does  ..... early contractions!  My first few pregnancies I was said to have an "irritable uterus" ... I have learned though that I actually have a very in tune uterus.  I previously felt weak and fragile but not anymore.  My body is so amazingly made by the Ultimate Creator who made my body to work in beautiful ways.  About five months into each pregnancy my body gives me great signs that I need to slow down and rest.  Also about five months along my body starts to prepare to bring this beautiful little being into this world.  I feel so blessed that God created my body to work in such an intricate way.  Sometimes these contractions can be very tiring and even overwhelming and during one pregnancy those contractions brought our baby to us five weeks early.  I am full aware that I need to listen to my body and take the rest it needs.  I am also full aware that another baby may come early but I even more aware of God's amazing design in my beautiful body.  He made me strong and powerful and I cherish this time that I get to care for this little bean inside me.
