I was the devil with the horns when I was pregnant! While my mother was understanding, others were not. I felt very awkward and rejected because I happened to be one of the few who suffers through it instead of glowing, like my sister and cousins do. <br /><br />Now, of course, I am the happy mother of a spoiled but well-loved seven year old boy. But I still think I will adopt or foster instead of being pregnant if more children are in my future!Andihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02024193889967546758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3832282615332664429.post-12349455545841227172009-11-15T16:13:57.124-08:002009-11-15T16:13:57.124-08:00my mom still doesn't get why i didn't like...my mom still doesn't get why i didn't like being pregnant. i'm glad you do!alexkellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07573543520434276913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3832282615332664429.post-22584331729905307262009-11-13T14:07:25.038-08:002009-11-13T14:07:25.038-08:00Aja, I have loved your art for several years now.....Aja, I have loved your art for several years now...Thank you for the emotion and strength you portray in your paintings.

I...I appreciate your honest words on pregnancy. I'm 6 months along right now, and yeah, I feel ya. There's tons of good mixed in, but lots of awkward and annoying in there too. Interesting though...lately I've had this desire to do some nude paintings of a pregnant figure...myself for starters. I've taken the pictures, but I've been chickening out on the next step.Alishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745303155767640510noreply@blogger.com
