I live a beautiful life. My husband is so supportive of me trying out a new career in childcare and we are immensely blessed to live the life we do. And yet when I see Little Baby Garvin #2 as excited and happy as I am for Jessica, Brandon, and Harper as they expand their family, I cry. And when my friends and family members announce their pregnancies I feel the same. Happy for them, excited for them and immensely jealous. I am working on this. I don't want to feel a pang every time I see these announcements. I know that one day it will be my turn. I know that there is a great reason that we are waiting. And I know that one day, those same friends and family members will be celebrating my child/ren with me when we grow our family. I really don't know how to do this... Growing up I always knew I wanted to be a wife and mother someday. I love being my husband's wife. He's amazing man and I'm so thankful and grateful for him. This is something I pray about. I want to see these announcements and only feel joy. I know I have no reason to be sad. I know that the season we're in now is where we're supposed to be. I know that having a baby, is not something to rush into. So we aren't rushing. I'm not good at waiting patiently. But I am working on it.
And I am looking forward to a wonderful week. I found another park for walking. And I am so excited - I love that I am able to get outside and enjoy this beautiful weather everyday! It is so much better than being stuck inside all day like I used to when I worked at the airport. And little man is doing so much! He'll be 9 months old in a couple of weeks. He's so busy! Crawling all over the place, walking along furniture and he can stand on his own for a few seconds. His babbling sounds are beginning to sound like words! I honestly can't think of a better way to spend my days! And I've been scouring the web and of course Pinterest to find new activities for us. That's all for now! Have a great week people!
Sometimes the worst thing to do is be patient but all in Gods time for sure! I keep on thinking I want this and that but come to realize we have exactly what we need right now in life and everything else in it's time!!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right! And that is something I try to remember! And yes, right now I do have exactly when I need :-)
