When I talk to many of you, or blog on here, I am indeed a complainer about pregnancy... All of you who are around me on a daily basis know this! I really have not enjoyed being pregnant one bit. And, this is why I wanted to share this with all of you...
I have a friend Heather, who I went to high school with. She is engaged to Brett, who I also went to high school with. They are both wonderful, nice, great people :)
I found out through this wonderful internet world that they were expecting a baby, and that Heather was about 8 weeks behind me. I was so excited when I found out! I love hearing that other people I know are pregnant! So much fun to pregnant people for some reason.
We have been following each others pregnancies, and we also go to the same OBGYN. I would inform Heather of what was to come with future visits, and she would ask how my baby was doing after every appointment!
I knew that this past Tuesday they were going to find out the sex of their baby! Which of course, is very exciting!! After Tuesday passed, I didn't see any posts about a boy or girl..So I asked!!
Heather sent me an email that I will never forget...explaining how when they went to the doctor, (the same doctor I go to every other week now). And they found out the baby has no amniotic fluid, and never produced any kidneys or a bladder. Of course, tears were just filling my eyes at this point. Then, after explaining this disease to me. She still had the strength to be so humble in that email, and explain how it is not genetic, and they know that God has plans for their little baby.
Then, after all that, she ends the email asking how my little baby is doing? And hoping he's doing wonderful! At this point I am very much so crying... And I just couldn't imagine to put myself in her shoes, and she still wanted to make sure, my healthy baby, was still doing great! She is such a wonderful person!!! They are having to induce labor on Wednesday, and she will deliver her little angel... Please Please pray for her and Brett to be strong :)
After I read that, it made me feel so bad for complaining so much, about my back, and my nausea I get every now and then, and my sleepless nights.. Because in all that complaining, I have a healthy baby boy, that will be here in 8 weeks..healthy, and here to stay.... I realized those problems don't matter. It is all about my baby now...not how I feel.
