A year ago today I found out I was pregnant! It is so crazy to think how fast this past year has flown by - and it really has been one of the greatest years ever. I basically enjoyed the majority of my pregnancy and was blessed to have no complications, my labor (though the longest 19 hours of my life) went well, and now I have the sweetest four month old smile at me every morning!
Unfortunately, as I have friends who are now of "child bearing age" I have learned of so many who are struggling to get pregnant and have suffered heartbreaking miscarriages. It is when I am up at random hours of the night with a fussy baby or frustrated with a baby who just won't nap that I remind myself that there are so many who would give anything to be in my shoes.
This also reminds me of something I have been meaning to post. Y'all might remember my doctor who after many years of trying to get pregnant finally found out that she was pregnant with twins! Well recently she was put on bed rest for preeclampsia. Then at a doctor's appointment last week I found out that she has lost one of the babies. Please please pray that her little boy continues to grow and stays inside his mama's belly for as long as possible! I can't imagine what it would be like knowing that you are carrying a baby who has already gone to heaven.
It also won't hurt for you to count your blessings today...I know I have.
