Today's Words of Inspiration

Yes, I am now a week overdue. I haven't been here since baby #3. It's not fun, but it's do-able. I'm fine, and the baby is fine, and that's what's really important, right?

In my reading of birth stories this morning, I found this quote, and it has buoyed me up enough to face another day. I'm not familiar with the author, but the sentiments were truly inspired!

I welcome the pain your birth will bring for I know that it will teach me many lessons about life, about rewards that come after hard work, about submission, surrender, sacrifice, about devotion, commitment and faith.

I would do anything for you, my dear precious child, and when it is all over, I am blessed with your beautiful perfect slippery little body.
