It took Isaac a while to get used to being a daddy, but he knew how excited I was to be a mommy. And I loved when my belly was little and protruding all cute.

It didn’t take long for my “little belly” to get bigger and bigger.

But looking back now, I almost miss being pregnant to a certain extent.

I miss how close I was to Jayce all of the time. I never could miss him because I was always as close as I could get to him.

You form such an amazing bond. They say that your baby knows who their mommy is from the time they’re born. 🙂

And I’m really glad that I got photos of my pregnancy. It’s amazing looking back to see all of the beauty that is gathered in my belly.

So not everyone gets that pregnancy glow. Many people do get extra pounds, stretch marks, and acne.

But I can promise that I would do it all again, all over again for my little boy.
