So lucky

So this blog that I follow is written by a girl who has unexplained infertility. She has been trying to get pregnant for 5 years. She had to travel to do a trial type of IVF and got pregnant! Well, she went to her 9 week appointment (her last appoint with her RE) and found out she miscarried. To make it worse, the baby was still in there and she had to have a D&C. It was her first ever pregnancy.
Even though I am pregnant, I still keep up with some blogs about other women who have struggled with the same thing I have. I feel like they have given me strength and although we have never met, I feel like I know/understand some of the deepest parts of them. As I was reading her journey through this, I found myself so excited for her good news and almost in tears when she found out she is no longer pregnant. I realized that I am so lucky/blessed/whatever you want to call it to be having a healthy pregnancy. To be honest, being pregnant is much harder than I had anticipated. It is draining physically, emotionally, financially, and physically (yes, I said that twice) but I would still rather feel like this than be going through the loss of a child. I cannot begin to understand why the Lord has chosen me to carry this little guy, but I thank Him constantly for the opportunity.
