It's a New Day! Chapter EIGHT

Aloha and good morning. I received GREAT news this morning. I wasn't feeling the best this am and was really BLAH about working today. Everyone who has been my client in the past or present knows that I typically get very close to my clients. Of course I will never say names but my client gave me the best news! SHE'S PREGNANT! This client of mine has had it rough! She went through a horrible miscarriage a while back and tried for about 7 months after to get pregnant and nothing! Finally they received great news and they are expecting! That is one huge blessing of my job. I have had clients share great fertility stories, clients with cancer, deaths within clients, you laugh together, cry together, mourn together... I couldn't have ever asked for a better job for my personality. I love to help people and love learning about people and their lives. Congrats to this sweet family, you are a blog reader so I hope you see this. You both completely deserve it! 

With that said, No. I do not get sad when I hear people are pregnant. I am not that person. I am not bitter, I love a good turn out for anyone... Now, i will say, I try not to question God when I see teens pregnant or women that have 6 kids and can't afford them. I worked in a pediatric clinic before moving to Hawaii and we had a 12/13yr old girls getting pregnant. Stories like that make me irritated and at the same time try my faith... Why give someone who isn't financially stable a child? Why give a child a child? Why give someone a pregnancy when they are going to abort? Those are all the questions that float in my head from time to time. But at the end of the day, its not my place to question God or anyone else for that matter. I take every day one day at a time... Right now I have a best friend struggling with infertility, another friend who is pregnant, another friend who has lost her baby this week at almost the halfway mark, and another friend who just delivered. There is sadness and blessings all around us. It depends on how open you are to see them. The key is to NOT let yourself get down. Don't have a pity party for yourself. If you do limit it. Whatever, some people need to cry in the shower, some people need to watch life time movies and cry. Do it, but not for long. I am SOOOOO not perfect and not nearly as strong as i'd like to be but I work on it daily. Yes, I do have my moments. I don't really cry though. I can cry during a commercial or for a friend but I have a hard time crying with situations in my own life. I would be lying if I told you I never look at baby items. I'd be lying if I said I didn't already have my nursery furnture picked out for either gender. I know what bedding I want, I know how I want to set up the room. Kolbey and Shay have sit in almost ever glider and recliner in BabiesRus. Myself and Kolbey were on Pinterest one night months ago and we seen a sea glass baby mobile. It was adorable! He said he was going to collect a lot so that he can make his sibling the mobile. 

When I get down, thats what we do. We go to the beach and hunt for sea glass. Kolbey loves it and its relaxing for me to hear the waves and see Gods beauty. There is nothing better than sitting and watching your child have fun and know he feels important and that he's on a mission! He wants to find as many pieces as possible! We actually went this weekend. The day after my 5th IUI procedure I sit on the beach and watched him and his dad search. Coming back with pockets full and baggies full of glass. Kolbey cracks me up, we will be walking in a parking lot somewhere and if he sees glass he goes to check it out! haha 
I hope everyone has a blessed week. I just wanted to drop by and share the good news. God is still at work! <3
