Before I got pregnant, every pregnancy announcement, gender announcement, and birth announcement made me a bitter person. I would get jealous. I would get angry. I would get happy and sad all at the same time.
I always caught myself saying "well, there's another pregnant woman" or "why can't that be me?" just to name a few.
Now that's me....just another pregnant woman making others a bit more bitter, sad, and jealous that it is not them in my shoes.
But if you know my whole story and not just bits and pieces, maybe it would change your thoughts just a little.
You see, I have suffered multiple losses to get where we are today. I have grieved for my children for years and will grieve for them for years to come. Yes, I have a beautiful daughter here with me, but it doesn't change the fact that out there somewhere, are my other children.
So next time you see another pregnancy announcement, before you begin judging that woman, please keep in mind you don't know the path she followed to get where she is today.
