Writing this blog has been so helpful for me. It has been like a huge weight lifted off my chest. I can't believe in the last few days since I shared my blog the outpouring of love and support I have gotten from everyone. I just wanted to say thank you, everyone.
The kind words give me hope that no matter what happens, I have such a great support group! I really like this blog to get my thoughts and feelings out of my head. But I have found that this blog is also a great way for my readers to feel involved, and it's wonderful!
One really sweet person said to me a few months back that if I can't have kids of my own that I can always adopt. She stated that God knows that Cole and I would have enough love to take in a child that wasn't biologically ours. I had never seriously thought about adoption until this person said those very sweet and supportive words to me. I started to think about it more and more. I have come to the conclusion that I would be interested in the idea to adopt a child, regardless if I can have any of my own. I think about the huge impact it would be on that child and on our lives. I also found out that where I work reimburses up to 80% of adoption fees. I know adoption isn't cheap, but I think it's something I really want to do. Self fulfill and make a difference in the world.
Cole is more hesitant about adoption. He hasn't lost one ounce of faith that we won't have children of our own. If we don't adopt, I will be ok with that too. It's something I am becoming more open to is all... I don't want just a baby though, I want to be pregnant. I want to hear my babies heart beat from in my belly. I want to feel my baby kick and toss and turn. I want to experience the miracle of child birth. I want to see what kind of beautiful babies Cole and I can create together. I pray everyday that God will grant me this wish.
I just want to go on facebook and not be sad everytime I see ultrasound pictures. Pictures of people and their baby bumps. I am so jealous it hurts. I am happy for my friends and family, its a selfish feeling. I hate feeling this way.
Sorry, that's enough pity party for one night. But thank you all so much for you love, support and prayers!!
This post really hit close to home. I totally relate to the feelings of jealousy, sadness, and selfishness. You're allowed a pity party Taylor!!! Giving you hugs through the computer......keep writing!!
