Who knew that pregnancy would entail so much upset and commotion for one's own body? I guess I had some whimsical ideas about loving pregnancy and that I would always enjoy and marvel at pregnancy if ever I were to conceive. I am still marveling, who couldn't...what an awesome miracle of God that an entire new human being is growing inside of my womb...but enjoyment, I still have yet to experience. I did have a couple nicer weeks, still accompanied with morning throw-ups, but this past week, I came down with food poisoning that still has left me reeling, and I can hands down say this has been the hardest and most discouraging week yet. BUT, we are almost halfway thru, their is a precious light at the end of this long tunnel. And that precious gift will be worth all the vomit. Many tell me I will forget; and though I know when I hold and see our little one that grace will wipe away the tinge of the suffering I have endured, I do not think I will forget this pregnancy, nor want to, really. Suffering produces value, and the most valuable things are the things most worth suffering for.
