40 Weeks/3 Weeks


Today is AGN's due date. Wow. The past three weeks have been a whirlwind and someday I will have the energy to write about it. :-) I am having a hard time with having "lost" the past three weeks of pregnancy. I know it sounds ridiculous, but to this control-freak, OCD mommy, it has been a really tough pill to swallow. I love cuddling her, and seeing her face always makes me smile, but I have to admit that I feel like I have not yet connected with her. My prayer is that now that she's actually "due" I will start to open up a bit more.

I am thankful for Snicks, he's been my rock.

Congratulations! I do not have my own blog but sure enjoy lurking on so many of your blogs. So inspiring and beautiful reminder's of God's goodness. I was blessed with a miracle baby after five years of being unable to conceive. I will say, though, it did take me awhile to really connect. It made me sad as I expected it to be an instant connection. I think because I was unable to breastfeed her, it may have caused some of the disconnect and I was dealing with the baby blues. My daughter is now 6 months and we are certainly connected! My great love for her was certainly alive well before she was ever conceived, but with each
passing day, the connection continued to grow. For me,
once she started interacting with me was when I really
started to feel it. Enjoy your beautiful daughter and the gift of motherhood.

Love that little face!

I totally get what you are saying...I was expecting an overwhelming connection to her 24-7...It's odd..>It comes and goes. I think I even told my mother the other day, I'm not sure if I'm totally bonded with her and my mother reassured me that I was just by my actions....So don't worry. I think the feelings of it come and go....Especially when it gets difficult....hahahaha :)
