The Shape of A Mother

In my life I have held many shapes... many weights... and many lbs! I grew up struggling with my weight, was teased and ridiculed for it, battled an eating disorder trying to control it... and eventually learned to just embrace the shape God gave me.

 "There is a season and a purpose to all things under the heavens" Ecl 3:1

None of these shapes I have held was I more proud to bear than the shape of a Mother. The beautiful journey from flat belly to full belly because God is perfecting His creation inside you is in my opinion the second most amazing miracle on earth! (The first being Jesus of course) The following is my photo diary of the shape Dawson gave me during his stay in my belly.
