my thoughts for today..

This week is National Infertility Awareness Week. After surviving the loss of a child followed by 2 miscarriages, I know the road to motherhood isn't always easy. Today I saw a video that reminded me of the journey to get where I am today.
I am thankful to be a mama again. The long and winding path to get here hasn't been an easy one, but it's made me the woman I am today. As I watch my baby girl sleep in the bassinet next to me, I give thanks to God for giving me such a precious gift. He's given me the chance to be a mama again after losing our sweet baby Charlie and I am grateful that my prayers have been answered. I'll continue to pray that He answers the prayers of every woman longing to be a mama.


Here's the video -- it made me cry.

I saw an ad for some news program that was covering the "epidemic" of teen girls leaving newborns for dead in garbage cans the other day and that sense of injustice hit me... not fair, their babies were born alive and left unwanted for dead - and mine was born dead and very much wanted. *sigh*
