October 5, 2011: The Gifts

I have been given the gift of another chance. The gift of developing new life. After tragedy last spring, I am again expecting a little brother or sister for our sweet Eva. But I have been granted another precious gift: to trust my body again.

When we conceived last February I knew within a few days. My body reacted quickly and symptoms were full force very early. For all intents and purposes, I had little reason to be concerned about that pregnancy because there seemed little room for doubt at the time. Then my body betrayed me and I felt I had no one to trust if I couldn't even trust my instincts.

I felt like I knew this time too. Read back a few posts and you will see that I had reason for suspicion but I didn't know if I could trust myself.  As it turns out, I can and that gift means more to me than I can express.

Thank you for this life, this chance and for this trust. Thank you.
