Grumble Drumble...
Alright so first off I'd like to ask all those people who are going to say "Oh well you should be happpppy, you're making new life, there are people who can't do that it's a miracle." Welllll if you know ANYTHING about me, you'll know I make my art to vent. These are my PERSONAL feelings. I am very happy about my pregnancy but I use my art to vent those things that are driving me crazy at the moment. So any angst/emo-y pictures regarding the fatness well, its how I'm feeling at the moment. And eventually you'll all get to see my happy baby arts ^^

Pregnancy is a state of contradictions. Your happy that you've got this front row seat in the creation of a new life, but you could do without the harder parts of it.
The joy of feeling this person grow, move, and change within you is mind-blowing; but the stretch marks are something you'd rather do without.
The emotions of being there for your child in a way that no one else can ever be at any other point in their lives can be the highlight of any woman's life, but the outtie belly button that chafes on your clothes and drives you bats is an aspect that saps the joy out of the glow of impending motherhood.
Seeing your child on the ultrasound makes them that much more real to you - but brings the prospect of just how large they are getting.
The moment that created them was joyous, but is tempered by the fact that they do, and will, come out eventually - and that can be the most powerful and scary moment of it all.
Joy and suffering, pleasure and pain, effort and frustration all are bit players in the greatest act of the greatest play in your life.
Conflict aside - for some, this person is real to them when they learn of their pregnancy. For some, its real when they feel them move within them. For others, they are not real until they see them on the ultrasound or hear their heartbeat. For yet others, the epiphany doesn't hit them until the struggle to move from you in me to you AND me - the struggle that seems like a miracle in of itself in it's ability to even happen at all. For yet others, that person isn't real until they hold them for the first time - so small to be out here, too big to be in you.
The person inside of you will be truely unique - they are someone who has never existed before, and will never be again after their time on this Earth. Just the process to turn them from a notion to an actual person kinda sucks sometimes...
Hope this little ditty helps, and I had to +fav this picture - it's a reminder that it's all worth fighting for, as its worth achieving.
