Emotional Video = No More Pregnancy Complaints (for now)

I frequent a few of the "new mommy" boards and blogs, just to see what other women are experiencing and learning, and I ran upon this video called, "I would die for that". After watching it, I could not be more grateful for this whole experience. Sometimes I get so bogged down in the aches and pains that I forget how miraculous this whole time in life really is. To think that this all started with a microscopic cell that has now grown to a dancing, hiccupping little being that keeps me up all hours of the night is truly a miracle!!

So now that I am getting closer to my due date, I am thinking about everything that I have learned during my first pregnancy. Even though the day to day of being pregnant seems like an eternity, when it comes close to being over, it is actually terrifying and I am scared to have it end. It's hard being pregnant, not because it's physically draining most days, but because your life is no longer your own. I never thought someone could consume as much of my thoughts and energy and emotions as this little person has. In the same way, I know that I haven't even begun being a mom and I have this overwhelming feeling that I really don't know what I've gotten myself into.

However, I do know this, I am so blessed to have been able to carry her and take care of her for the last 9 months. It has been the pleasure of my life to feel her growing everyday and I wouldn't trade these days for anything!

PS: If you're going to watch the video and you're a mom, you might want to have tissues ready!
