Ok, so this is just my opinion. I know that pregnancy is a wonderful thing and that the human body is beautiful and all, but I just don't like looking at a woman's bare pregnant belly. And it seems like I'm constantly seeing pictures like that lately!
For example, I was just flipping through some pins on Pinterest, and I saw a picture of a pregnant woman, her little boy, and her husband. The picture was taken from the stomach down, so you can't see the faces of the parents. The father is obviously in good shape because you can see his abs, and then you just see this big round belly of his wife.
If it were me, I wouldn't want to be reminded of how my husband can keep up his excellent shape and have a perfect body when I'm over here pregnant, and feeling fat and bad about myself. Now, on the other hand, if it was a picture of my belly with a shirt over it, I may feel better about it.
I know that it's mean to criticize a pregnant woman, but I think that it's just because I'm so not ready to be pregnant. Not physically, mentally, emotionally, or financially. Lets just say in no way shape or form am I ready for a baby.
Although they are cute and I can't wait until I AM ready for that. I'm just going to have to get over my fears of child-bearing and accept that my body will change one day. Which could take a while.
Let Jay and Nicole tell you things about having a baby and what that does to you. It won't make you feel any better about it. And, you will start to realize Cody may not know any of this information, but you will want him to know it so that he doesn't make a big deal out of it when it happens to you...or maybe that was just me. I mean, I had to tell Brian that not all of the weight you gain during pregnancy goes away the minute you have a baby because he thought it did. Considering he already thinks I need to loose weight, I'm not looking forward to children in the least.
