OK so here is the thing. have you ever seen the movie 'what to expect when your expecting'? well it gives you a peek into the lives of five women who are expecting.
The woman who is a fitness junkie and no matter what she will keep on working out: I wish i could muster up the strength these type of women have to keep their bodies as active as possible. if my body would allow it I'm sure i would still be a bump on a log. the thought of how badly my body hurts with just lifting my legs up to put on a pair of shorts keep me from even attempting walking any more than i have too. (i have a two year old so its not like i just relax all day)
The woman who cant have kids. They end up adopting a baby and i think that's pretty amaze balls!!!
The woman who not only has the best pregnancy, perfect baby belly, looks to have gained nothing. fits into the prettiest maturity cloths, not swollen. didn't get morning sickness. but is also pregnant with twins...oh and to top it off gave birth to the first baby with a sneeze.COME ON does this ever happen? is pregnancy ever this easy???
The woman who experienced every thing imaginable. morning sickness, swollen leaky breasts. feet that ache. a ginormous body and belly. crappy labor. man i feel for this character. and any one else who feels this way. i didn't get a pregnancy glow with my first and sure as hell didn't get it with this pregnancy. man if i take a crap i feel accomplished! let alone getting dressed for the day. I'm crabby. and don't even get me started on if I'm hungry. the only great thing about being knocked up is feeling the baby move. its just so magical. or gross if you ask my husband. oh and being someones mom. the felling of a child who loves you so much. they are truly a gift from god sent to teach us selfish adults about real love and sacrifice.
And last but not least
The woman who got pregnant but miscarried....this is a hard one to write about. although i have never had a miscarriage, i wish this on no one. i have seen the pain on the women face, the pain behind reading about another friend who has announced yet again that they are expecting. and the longing in a woman's eye for a special soul, a gift to call there own. its truly heart breaking and i wish and pray for them. you don't know what to say or how to comfort them. how to help with the healing of such a loss. to any one reading this who has dealt with this, I'm sorry. truly sorry. i cannot understand the trial that has been placed before you and hope your pain ends soon. I pray for your comfort and your healing soul.
So long story short if you are or have ever been pregnant go rent this movie. i laughed and cried. its a movie for all women.
