Not Gloating Just Greatfull

Today I've been carrying our little miracle inside of me for exactly 6 months. I know I may sound like (a baary) as if I'm the 1st person to have a baby, but I just can't seem help myself. I must admit before I got married I was one of those people who used to get irritated with pregnant woman who complained about each and every little ache and pain they felt while being pregnant. I used to think you pregnant so who told you that you won't feel uncomfortable, irritated and sore most of the time. I would agree with people who said "Pregnancy is a condition not a decease"

However my opinion has changed in the last two years. I've learnt that we are not all the same. I've learnt that every little pain (I may feel I can handle) just might be a contraction. That a little infection could land me in hospital and something small in my eyes could just be huge in a doctor's eyes. I've learnt that its okay not to come home and clean the house everyday, that the occasional little rest can take you a long way, that its okay if my hubby does the dishes at night and that I don't have to feel bad when he doesn't want me to cook so I can get a little extra rest (even if it means his having bread and tea for dinner.)

Even though by faith this will be my first child - this baby is not the first angle I carry inside of me. Infact its baby number 3 and don't think for one moment that thus far its been smooth sailing - I've been in hospital once and bed rest twice (combined its been about a month), but we still hanging in there. So when I go on about the months God has kept us safely together its not because I'm gloating but because I see each and every month as a huge mile stone. I see God's grace and mercy night after night when the light gets turned off to sleep and I can still feel our baby moving inside of me...
