Right now I am sitting here listening to my husband read our daughter Goodnight Moon for bedtime and catching up on blogs I love. I read this:
I sat here listening and reading with tears rolling down my face. To love so much is a hard and wonderful thing indeed. I am glad when others, better writers, put into words what I feel with every cell in my body.

I cried when I read that other post because my heart lives outside my body and it is at times so very painful. The rewards are so much more than the pain, but you can not ignore all the painful lessons. God is good and He is in control. And most importantly children are a blessing from the Lord. There can not be any question when He said it!! He did not add any exceptions.
Oh that really touched my heart! "I love you to the moon, to the sun, to the farthest reaches of uncharted future and back" Man those are powerful words. That is how I feel about my girls! I am thankful that I had the love and support of my family when faced with this same situation.
I love a lot of the same blogs as you just have not had the time to really catch up on them.
That post brought tears to my eyes too. Thank you for sharing it. It's crazy how the same people who condemn women for getting abortions are the same ones who refuse to celebrate certain pregnancies. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
I'm so glad you're not that kind of Christian!
Thanks, Kelly! There is so much heartache associated with parenthood, but equal parts beauty and joy as well. Congratulations on your second baby, by the way. I know I'm biased, but it is such a source of happiness to watch two little girls interact as sisters... Plus, it's hilarious to see my husband figuring out how to use hair clips, adjust tutus, and read all manner of princess books without losing his mind. :)
I have way to many hormones pumping through my brain to read that sort of stuff right now, but I know its true. Just scary to be so vulnerable.
