So, I wouldn't usually go for something this... personal... but I've been thinking, if I'm pregnant this time, obviously I'll tell my immediate family right away because I cannot keep a secret... but for everyone else, maybe I'll wait until Valentine's Day, and then have somebody photograph me making a heart with my hands over my abdomen, and then I'll caption it somehow and post/mail it. Because I have a very long history of abdominal surgeries (thirteen) due to my endometriosis, and I'm very vocal about showing my scars and not being ashamed of them (which started out as a way to help one of my not-foster-kids combat body shaming) and how they show a physical representation of the struggle I've been through, and how much I've survived. So it would send like a message of... you can overcome... too, you know? I won't be big yet, but the scars are still visible.
