Body Image.

So, last night I just looked at myself in the mirror.... and as my body is changing, I am having a difficult time. I don't think of myself as a vain person at all. I have always been an athlete, and active, and comfortable in my body. I have no idea if this is a normal thing women women have a hard time with... but I am. I am scared of never having the same body.... stretch marks, veins appearing and not going away, will I ever be confident about my body again?

Then I remind myself it is obviously worth it. I already love this baby girl so much, and she is so wanted by Dan and I. However, Dan is still my husband, and I want him to be attracted to me after the baby arrives. Will he be? Will it be different? I hope not. I hope that doesn't come across as being weird... but it has been on my mind lately.

Onto a ligter note... Dan felt the baby move on Thursday night! It was so great! It was an emotional moment, and very cool for me to see him experience it... since I get to feel her all the time. Then last night, I was watching my belly while laying in bed (this is when she tends to be the most active), I could actually see my belly move! :o) I just can't wait to meet her.
