Gratitude

[bhakti]

I am feeling very thankful for my life, today.

I am grateful that this pregnancy was planned and wanted, and that we were able to conceive after only six months of trying.

I am grateful that both bratling and I are excited about the coming baby, and feeling positive about the change coming to our lives

you really are going to be a great mom, you are so caring

That attitude you obviously carry into this is going to help so much.

Don't worry about the isolation of stay at home parenting. You will make connections. You will get help.

And hey, feel free to ask the Lazyweb parenting questions. I know many of the folks in my circle of parents, notably some of us rennie related folk, have had some good parenting conversations over the years, even if they're just communications to let each other know "it'll work out, don't worry" or a second opinion of "see the doc... " "yes, just wait" "yes, that happened to us too... "

Online communities are no substitute for real life, but they certainly can help, particularly at 2:00 am when you're wondering just what might be wrong.

And do not be afraid to ask your midwife/nurse/doctor/healthcare person for additional help after the birth.
