Warning: This is not a perky post.
I was conversing with Emme the other day. If she's particularly alert during a feeding and she catches my eye while nursing, she smiles and starts talking to me. The other day I wasn't in a rush for her to finish eating so I let her talk her little heart out as she laid in my arms. I wondered all the things that moms wonder when their little ones "talk."
What's she saying?
I wonder if she really understands who I am?
What will she be when she grows up?
How am I going to help her understand what Christ did on the cross for her?
How on earth did this person fit inside me? :)
Then a thought struck me. It caught me off guard. I was supposed to have a baby in April of 2006 but unfortunately Brad and I suffered a miscarriage in August of 2005. If I hadn't lost that baby...I wouldn't have gotten pregnant with Emme...and we would have never met her.
It was a hard moment...to look into that precious girl's eyes and at the very same moment I was grieving the loss of one, I was celebrating the life of another.
