Has it really been that long? A year ago yesterday I found out I was pregnant and I can tell you the last year has been the best year of my life and also the hardest. Pregnancy was so fun, I truly loved it. Yes-I got huge and swollen and tired...but it was amazing. I still can't believe the little girl I see in all those ultraounpictures is our beautiful daughter. Being a mommy is a million times better but also the hardest thing I have ever done. I can't explain why it's hard, it just is...but also so rewarding. Gianna smiles at me a million times a day and is starting to laugh sooo hard it's amazing. God is GOOD!
For those momma's who are still TTC, please don't give up. The journey is long and hard and heartbreaking, I know...but being a mother is worth any wait that He gives you. I just can't put it into words the love I have for her...the moment she was pulled out of me and put on my chest was....incredible. I was speechless (my husband will back me up on that one! haha)
Just trust in Him. He has a plan for you and no matter how or when you become a mother, it will be worth the wait. It will be worth the heartache, the pain, the sadness, frusteration, everything.
Being a mom is incredible and amazing. It's also tiring and sometimes stressful, but it's a good tired and a good stressful. It's just perfect :-)
