Day 25 -30 days of thanks

No matter how much I whine about the pain I'm in, I am SO thankful to be pregnant! I realize that some people can't get pregnant and others never have the chance to be a mother for whatever reason. I can not say pregnancy is fun, but I do feel so blessed that I am able to bear children. I'm thankful that Heavenly Father trusts me to be a mother to some of his spirit children. There is a really long list of bad symptoms that come with pregnancy, but it really doesn't matter because it is all worth it in the end. I'm thankful that God puts his trust in woman and gives us the strength we need to bring another human being into this world. Rich often asks me questions like, "isn't that so weird to just feel this little person moving inside of you all of time?" or "isn't it weird to have a big belly like that?" Yep, it's weird all right, but I feel bad for men that they don't get to experience what we as woman do. They are glad they don't have to go through it, and of course I see why, but put all the negative aside,... having a baby inside of you is the most amazing thing ever. I already love this baby so much and feel so blessed to be his mommy. Today at the Dr.'s I saw a 2 week old baby and I found myself just staring, and oohing and awwing at it, almost like I'd never seen anything like it before. I couldn't believe how small it was, even at 2 weeks. Babies are little miracles and I can't wait to hold our baby boy! I am filled with gratitude each day that I have this angel baby inside of me. Just a month to go! It's amazing that with each pregnancy it's still so exciting and the love for each of my babies is the same. It's something you wait a long time for and sacrifice so much for, and is truly the greatest reward ever. How I love babies and motherhood!
