Real

Halfway through my pregnancy and I still have to look at myself in the mirror everyday to really believe it. And every time I feel her kick and move around, I can’t help but smile. She’s real. She’s our gift from above. For those of you who have been reading my blog for awhile, my very first post talked about a book I read called, “The Ultimate Gift.” That book got me started writing this blog. You can read it by going to the side of this page where it says “blog archive” and click on “2007.” It will bring you to my first page of posts – my first one at the bottom. It’s amazing for me to read that now, knowing how far we have come. It probably sounds cliché, but I wouldn’t trade all the pain and heartache we endured the past 3 years, for the joy God has brought us today. I know how blessed we are because I still know so many couples, so many girls that I have become close to through all this, who still don’t have their baby. I pray for them everyday, as I remember that pain and heartache all too well. It’s something that will always be with me. You know who you are girls, and you are the strongest women I know.
