I have found myself complaining a lot this pregnancy. I complain about being tired, any little pain I have, the non stop heart burn, and God forbid I find a stretch mark (thats an entirely different issue). I know this will be the last time I ever feel little kicks and flutters from the inside which is bittersweet. And then I read posts from women who have lost their baby, who will never carry a child, or who have a premie fighting for their life in the NICU. I cry because I feel selfish. I cry because of hormones and because I cant imagine what those women must be going through. I know it sounds crazy but after years of trying to conceive with Lucas, I am almost happy to see those few marks and my csection scar on my stomach. I know there are women in this world who would be happy to have those things if they could carry a child full term. Justin Burbank and I blessed beyond words to have a healthy little boy and another one on the way. I am saying a special prayer tonight for the women and their families who have lost, cant conceive, or have a tiny fighter in their life.
