Journey to Motherhood

For Mother's Day...

They asked women on the radio what they wanted for Mother's Day

Flowers, gift cards, chocolate, sleep

I agreed

Then Mother's Day came, the day after your birthday, two weeks before yours

And I realized what I really wanted for Mother's Day, I already had


Thought of the day: Who knew how hard it could be to get pregnant?  It seems like infertility is on the rise these days.  I have polycystic ovarian syndrome and so do so many other women I know.  I also had a miscarraige 5 years ago. It was one of the most depressing things I've ever gone through.  I remember how I cried continuously for days on end until I couldn't cry anymore. I thought about this alot on Mother's day and how fortunate I really am.   How could I ever put into words how happy I am to have my children?
