It's crazy how much they assert their independence so early...so much sooner than I'm ready for! <br /><br />Thank you for your sweet wishes for myself as well - I often think of the quote "when a child is born, so is a mother" - it's so true!

I had a lady, very early in my pregnancy, come up to me and say "how far along are you?" I replied "14 weeks - so out of the danger zone, hopefully!" (I said this because I had miscarried previously at 8 weeks) She then said "oh never say that - I had a friend whose baby was stillborn at 40 weeks. You're really never out of the danger zone." <br />Is she technically right? Yes. But geez lady! That really haunted me for my entire pregnancy - that and all the crazy death stories people wanted to tell me about newborns. I really think schools should teach the art of conversation to everyone...<br /><br />9 and 7 - I can't imagine my children at those ages! But I know it's coming, God willing!

My first 2 pregnancies went very easily- but then after a 20 week fetal demise, that ruined the 'fun'- so kids #3 and 4 pregnancies were filled with anxiety- "keeping them alive"- they are 9 and 7 now priest's wife - S.T./ Anne Boyd https://www.blogger.com/profile/03792937108732259684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7263642629706813925.post-28155326352392342482016-10-12T07:47:02.036-04:002016-10-12T07:47:02.036-04:00You are suddenly...you. You are yourself. You are ...You are suddenly...you. You are yourself. You are not me - although for so long you were, you were just an extension, as natural as my arm or nose. You are now yourself and claiming that boldly. I'd be more proud if I could stop being so hurt by the growing pains.<br /><br />Wow. That hit me right in the gut! Happy birthday, sweet girl! And happy birthing day, Martha! Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05625035254559197934noreply@blogger.com
