Reminiscing

I really miss being pregnant. I loved it! But pregnancy didn't love me. I got awful migraines. Threw up till the day I had Porter. Got pimples the size of mount Helen and a fire breathing dragon made home in my throat. But, I loved having life inside of me.  Loved feeling Porter move and kick. Loved that I was going to be a mother.  I miss it. I long for it. I would take all the side effects and more in a heart beat to be pregnant again.  So those of you who are pregnant and complain. Please count your blessings. Understand how lucky you are to have babies.  Enjoy the journey of pregnancy. You get to be a MOTHER! How wonderful and amazing is that.

  1. I would never have known you were experiencing all of those side effects, because you were just radiant when you were pregnant! And you will be again. You will be an absolutely amazing mother, Katie!

  2. You are such a beautiful pregnant woman! I love this picture. Similar thoughts were on my mind last night as I thought about the first time a saw my tummy move when Luke kicked! I miss those days.

  4. I hope you don't mind me stumbling upon your blog- the title caught my eye. Thank you for your testimony and your thoughts. I lost my first baby in a miscarriage and am now pregnant again hoping that I can keep this one. I won't pretend that I know your pain because I know mine was different but it was a bitter loss and I felt it very keenly. It changes your life forever. I have come to recognize I am not in control of my life- God is. I do what I can and try to let go of the rest. Heartbreak isn't easy and I am just grateful I guess to know someone else has experienced this deep pain but has hope for the future. Thank you for sharing your story.

  6. I agree, thank you for the reminder, Katie, to stay positive during pregnancy. You are so right, it doesn't matter what it does to our bodies, I should never complain because becoming a mother is worth any sort of pain or discomfort. Hang in there, call me anytime if you need to talk. Keep us updated on things as well. Love you!
