I had a couple of friends in my home recently, one of them is expecting her first baby. The conversation turned to pregnancy; swelling bellies, ultrasounds and unusual cravings. I was reminded of my own pregnancies, which feel like a lifetime ago. There are so many things that I have forgotten, maybe that's the way it's supposed to be.
I had forgotten that with each of my babies we received bad news at the ultrasounds. Twice there were concerns with little hearts, and once we were warned about serious kidney problems.
Kedar and I worried and stewed. We gleaned from the Internet every morsel of information we could find. We read books and asked questions. But mostly we prayed.
With each baby, time was enough to resolve our concerns, but the feelings anxiety and worry wouldn't leave me completely until I held a healthy baby in my arms.
Each scare made me more aware of all that could go wrong, and emphasized the miracle of a healthy baby. Today, I am feeling so thankful for my beautiful, healthy babies (who aren't really babies anymore).
