Baby, Oh Baby!

I was talking to one of my good friends the other day and the topic of being a mother obviously came up as we both have children. We were discussing how some of us really take it for granted sometimes. Something that comes so natural and that is meant to be such a beautiful NATURAL gift that was given to most of us for being a woman, can often come as such a heart wrenching difficult process for another.

       Now, I am one of those blessed that struggle with doing something that sounds so easy and comes so easy to most with starting a family, which is holding my baby past a certain stage in pregnancy.

I thought blessed was the only fitting word to use to express how I feel. Please don’t get me wrong it’s not something I envy for either me or my baby or wish upon my worst enemy ever. But I have to be honest with myself by saying I never thought of another (except my husband, baby and I) while going through the painful process of giving life to a baby no bigger than the length of your hand and I doubt and would guess no one else would. But recently with my second pregnancy while on strict hospital bed rest and left with my thoughts alone, I cannot help but feel as if my family and I are being looked after for the second time. You see we are incredibly blessed to have a baby with a shot at life at all, no matter how minimal in the first place. So here I am going through it all again yet this time they kinda know what’s happening.. So what’s the cure to not being able to hold my baby?? BED! Sounds good hey?? It’s not. After 4 weeks I am ready to run and do back flips. But I’m not aloud.. lay down and that’s it.  But on the bright side today I am 27 weeks and 1 day pregnant!! That’s the longest I’ve have ever carried a baby!! Excited much?? So baby number 2 is still in there.. now for how long we have no idea?? Could be till tomorrow.. or could be 5 weeks from now.. so here I’m going to just simply ask for your prayers.. But not only for me.. but for others that dont find it as easy to make a family. Well until next time.. All my love xx
