There's this pregnancy website that I'm on constantly called thebump.com. I'm actually only on there for the message boards. Anyway, there are women across the world on there that get together on the message boards and talk about everything from pregnancy to what to make for dinner. We have "due date" clubs and we check in every day and just keep in touch.
In the past couple of weeks, there have been three women who've given birth to their 20 week old babies, who all died shortly after birth. I'm just so sad for these women and their families. They all deserve to have those precious little ones, but I guess they were "too beautiful to stay".
I've really had to take a step back this week and truly appreciate having made it this far in my pregnancy. The stories of other women's struggles has really had me thinking about how wonderful life is and to appreciate every single day. To be thankful for all that I have and all that has brought me so far. Life is short and I don't want to throw away a single second of it.
Hi! I saw your post from Cotton Socks, and wanted to say hi. My husband and I are LDS as well, and are expecting a girl in about 4 weeks! I'm also on thebump.com a lot: juliane2004. Whats your screen name?
