With all of the negative things people said to me about this stage of pregnancy, I think it's a very good idea to write down the positives. ;)<br /><br />One thing stuck out to me (no pun intended) from your post: While you do get your body back once your baby's born (what a relief!), in another very real way, your body is never quite your own again. If you decide to breastfeed, that physical connection keeps growing and changing, but doesn't go away. And this time, you're "sharing" your body with an adorable little baby that you can actually see! What a blessing it is. So excited for you! :)K.
