Summer Pregnancy

So this may sound like a big complain fest, but it really is just facing reality. I am in for a long 13 weeks left in this pregnancy. I know I've said I wanted a summer baby, but I was thinking more like giving birth in May and having the rest of summer to work on getting in shape. God knows the best plan and he chose August so I must find ways to stay cool and not get grumpy. I am so thankful that I am getting the chance to birth another baby, it is just in the process I am not enjoying looking fat when so many women around me are showing off their sleek bodies as the weather gets warm. Here again is the revelation of my struggles (aka, sin) comparison, envy, dissatisfaction with my present circumstances, grumbling and complaining. So instead I will choose to enjoy the last few weeks of one-on-one time that I get to spend with my sweet Matthew and enjoy the kicks of this little one inside me. It will be all too soon that I will be in the middle of sleep depravation and other struggles to overcome.
