"I Will Not Take These Things for Granted" ~ Toad the Wet Sprocket

Starting a family was not as easy as I thought it would be.  With infertility and loss come a lot of emotions, from anger to jealousy to feeling like a failure as a wife and as a woman.  This pregnancy was terrifying, but I enjoyed every single moment of it.  Now, I am like any other mother.  I get frustrated, I lose my patience, and temper tantrums drive me nuts.  But at the end of every day, I look at my sleeping child and I am so grateful that I have this gift.  He is my joy, he is my life, and I will never take him for granted.
