So, although I'm working towards be a positive presence, I don't want to be misleading. You can sure make a girl feel good about herself though. :) Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743045331211477612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099966294801764134.post-73239179131012616742014-08-28T11:26:33.826-07:002014-08-28T11:26:33.826-07:00That group of people loves you too!

I feel like I often judge my impact on the world around me by my standards and point of view and not other people's, who are the people I am trying to impact. I bet if you took a little poll of the people in your life your impact is drastically higher than you think! Your blog is awesome and totally a positive impact in my life!

But I have the same thoughts such as, "will it happen for us" or "do I deserve it"? It sucks to feel that way, as I try to be positive but sometimes can't help those thoughts from creeping in. And then I start to worry that if/when it happens, "will the baby be healthy" or "what if I miscarry"? It is good to know I am not the only one that thinks this way. I really hope it happens for us, but I am very happy for you guys and so glad to hear all is well so far!

Pregnancy, motherhood is unsettling pretty regularly. As someone who had bed rest, a high risk pregnancy and spent every few days in L/D or hooked up to monitors, you are doing an amazing job growing an amazing baby. <br /><br />:)<br /><br />Take care of yourself. As I tell others, Parenting is the only thing in life that regularly makes me feel incompetent. But it's incompetence with a purpose. <br /><br />The Lenne-clanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03379425586610541851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099966294801764134.post-14279933876665168132014-02-04T08:20:10.747-08:002014-02-04T08:20:10.747-08:00Yes you should!

Either I've wisened or tired, or both and find that people are pretty settled in their stance and just like to argue. I still have open discussions with friends of differing views, but there is already a loving, respectful person there. I grew up in a conservative crowd who I differed from very early on. The ones open to me continue to be so and vice versa. I decided early on I would only be 'friends' on Facebook with my actual friends or people I was interested in being friends with. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09387206455676539013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099966294801764134.post-9351480394857444582014-01-14T07:16:44.374-08:002014-01-14T07:16:44.374-08:00I like your idea of blossoming in the spring time....I like your idea of blossoming in the spring time.
