Grateful Post

I want everyone to look at the blessings you have.  If you have a child and/or are pregnant. You are blessed!!

So with that blessing, don't think about do you look pregnant or not, are you gaining weight, etc. Look at the fact that you have a miracle growing inside you and will be a Mom! So many people would trade anything to be in your shoes.

Now, don't get me wrong, I know that you will have bad days and feel bad, tired, and feel fat. I understand this is place to vent and etc. I know that clothes don't fit and etc. Just understand that those are wonderful signs of soon you will have a miracle in your arms.

Every day remember you have been blessed with the most awesome miracles in the world...a child!

You said it well! Amen!

OH needs a like button ala FB.   LOL  

It's rare that I vent about anything pregnancy related.   Maybe it's because I feel like I don't get that right because it's like rubbing salt in wounds to those who are so desperately trying to get pregnant.  Maybe it's because I don't want to sound ungrateful, I don't know.  

Do I have my days, sure.   Do people ever hear about it?  Rarely ever.  I wouldn't trade any pregnancy pains for anything in the world.  

Thanks for your post. I wish there was a like button for you.

Don't over due it today chicka!

thats very nice what you wrote...I know I get cranky and stuff but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. I love my daughter and I feel blessed to be having twins as well. At first I was discouraged cuz I am early out from surgery and am still in the 300's but for some reason I was ment to get pregnant again. I am doing everything I am suppose to and I plan on picking up where I leave off with the weight loss after they are born. Thank you for your beautiful words it really got me thinking. have a good day :)

And you are double blessed with twins...naturally! That is amazing.

Don't get me wrong, we all have to vent with people who understand. I have posted about my ectopic issues that have gone on now for 43 days. But, I know there are ladies here who would understand and could offer support.

Just wanted to flip to the other side and get people to see some positive things!

YAY!  I thought about posting something like this myself, but people just call me bitter.  Hehe.  It comes better from you :-P

Well said.  I would give my left nut (if I had one) just to be pregnant.

I am sure people think I am bitter but that is ok with me. I just think people need to see the blessings. I have thought a few times about posting it but I stop because I think it will be perceived of me being a bitter jealous woman.

But, I am a glass half full kind of person versus a glass half empty.

Have a great wek ANN!

I don't think anyone would think of you as being bitter - I wouldn't! I have been a bitter jealous person, and you don't strike me like that at all.

I can realte, but at the same time I can't, and I honestly know that. I know what it feels like to want a child so bad, to see everyone around you having them, to lose them. I went through fertility treatments and I am so blessed.

I guess what I am trying to say is I understand where you are coming from, but have a different journey. I hope you are with me soon! I even hesitated to post about what is currently going on with me because it seems so unfair for those that have been trying so hard. I am not in your shoes right now, but I hope that soon you are in mine!

SOOOOOOOO grateful and thankful everyday for my girls. And honestly I think of this forum when I am frustrated that my house is a mess and I am tired. WHO CARES! I tell myself to knock it off, and be thankful for what I have.

Before this forum I didn't know anyone who had a miscarriage or trouble getting pregnant. I was kind of stunned at some of the issues some women have that I had absolutely NO clue about. I was not nervous one bit during either pregnancy and exercized the same as I always did, ate what I wanted etc...

It will happen girl, I will keep you in my prayers.
