She feels her skin---it's tight, even under generous padding. No way will it be able to stretch. What will THAT be like?
Slowly, but surely, she starts to swell, rise, expand. There's a unique fullness.
At times, she's not sure if the flesh will just burst open... and if it did, she wonders how much of a deflated balloon it will resemble.
Those early days after sure surprised her with how rapidly everything became more taut, yet there was a fluffiness and puffiness that seemed like it may stay forever.
Months later, the fluff stayed and the puff went away, though the deflated balloon idea started to creep back in...
Until those tiny little toes dug around to find the pillow they knew from the beginning of time and she felt her tummy was beautiful. Miraculous. Incredible.
