I have discovered that I have a feeling very different during this pregnancy than I did with Brayden. I was overjoyed, excited beyond immaginable, all the happy feelings that you can embody. With this pregnancy I will have to say that the most overwhelming feeling that I have is that of Thankfulness. I was worried that I would not feel joy nor excitement. Now I understand that thankfulness may be all that I am able to feel at this momment without jumping out of my skin. I look forward to the momment I get to hold this precious baby in my arms and hear her/his cries. I hope then I will be able to overcome the real feeling of fear, doubt, and all the other negative feelings that are not fair to this baby. I dont want this baby to be born into an environment of worry.
Lord I pray that you will help me to open my heart again. Help me to trust and believe and have hope. Thank you for this amazing opportunity to be a mommy again.
Brayden mommy loves you always. I miss you so much that it hurts. Please help mommy to believe and have Faith that your baby brother or sister will be born lively. I am sorry for my doubt. I am so proud that you will never have to feel pain or any negative feelings of this world. You are perfect forever. I love you.






I can only imagine I will be feeling the exact same way next time I get pregnant. What you are feeling is completely normal. But I understand your worry about not being fair to this new baby after what you went through with Brayden, Hang in there! I hope each day that goes by brings you less worry and more peace.
Hugs, Shelby
