Pregnancy hormones are real. The other day I was speaking down on myself – because of how I perceived myself. I never thought I’d be the type that became self-conscious during pregnancy because that’s what’s supposed to happen right? So why do I feel so bad about looking like a swollen blueberry with a pumpkin for a stomach that’s been in the hospital for weeks? 🤣
Najee came to me and said, “Stop it. Our daughter can hear you speaking negative about yourself.” And instantly I thought about how I didn’t want to pass this on to her. I didn’t want to hear me speaking against who God says I am. He said, “Repeat after me. I am a beautiful being bringing beautiful life into the world.”
I repeat that over again when I look in the mirror. And I can’t wait to share it with her too. ❤️
Here are some other affirmations I use:
God loves and sees my baby.
I am protected.
God is in control.
I am simply a vessel.
I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
My baby belongs to God.
