oh the tears...

So of course I stopped by Stefani's blog this morning and have since bawled my eyes out. I'd like to chalk it up to hormones but I know better. Between her words and the video she shared I can't stop crying (it didn't help that the song playing with the video is one I have somehow associated with Cade's birth and brings tears to my eyes anyway). You MUST watch the video on her post about the father and son, it is so inspiring and touching. You know being pregnant comes with so many worries and fears and one I have always thought about is how lucky we were to have one child that was born without any complications and then here I sit going through it again. I suppose so much of this is on my mind with the upcoming ultrasound and I wonder what will they find and if we will be so lucky again. So many other people have children that have disabilities and why won't that happen to me. Seeing this father and son made me realize in an unreal way that if this child has a disability it will be ok and we will make it and we will show that child love like we would any other baby. I try to remind myself that God only gives us what we can handle and my fear is WHAT exactly does he think that is? I pray for the health and safety of this baby everyday, but I believe I need to pray that God will give me the child that our family needs and we will welcome it with open arms and hearts.

Oh goodness, Teaque! I know those fears. They are real, and they are scary! You are so wise though, to know that no matter who that little baby is s/he will bring so much to you and to your family. Put your feet up Mama and rest easy. My prayers are with you and your wee one :-)

Rest easy in the assurance that God knows your little one already and that s/he is "perfectly and wonderfully made"

I am sending you a birthday present soon!!!!And no, it won't be another book!(lol),even though in my mind that is the perfect gift.

Oh my Teaquie. I know those feelings all too well since I just recently had our Nattie. I pray for you and "HER". It will be just another blessing weather or not "she" is green or fat or has a disability. Notice the "she" our dear Nattie needs a special someone like our Cade and our Ethan.
Bless you my sis. I love you and the new peanut.. I Cant Wait. I Love babies!!
