My last pregnancy but not my last baby!!

So, I was thinking today about how this will most likely be my last pregnancy. That thought spurred me on to thoughts of trying to appreciate it for all that it is… The ups and downs of pregnancy. I’m really trying not to complain or be negative when I obviously asked for this amazing gift, even though it can be bittersweet.

The things about pregnancy I’m going to miss so much are the amazing movements you feel and see from inside your belly. The precious gift of growing a little human in your own body and the amazing day when you get to see your babies face for the first time…

But even during the hard times (morning sickness, headaches, uncomfortableness…) I’m still stricken by the sadness of never getting to do this again! This most likely being my last baby to breastfeed, put in newborn clothes, give it’s first bath, and so much more!

However I am looking forward to sacrificing this gift of pregnancy for adopting more children some day soon. Knowing that there are millions of children without parents hurts my heart and I look forward to the day we hold our future children for the first time.

Adam is going to visit H.I.S. Home in Haiti this May for our first visit to where we plan to adopt from! And once we fill out our paperwork we will start the 1 or so year process of adoption…Man I’m glad pregnancy isn’t a year long ;)

Thank you Lord for children….
