A Lesson Worth Learning

If there is one thing I’ve learned from being pregnant…it’s this. Life is all about how you see things and then how you react to them.

Today has been a rough pregnancy day. Actually, the past couple of days have been. It feels as if Charlotte is growing but I am not. Therefore, her kicks have gotten stronger but I have less to block them with. She’s reaching parts of me that she couldn’t before and well, getting kicked in the ribs and down below at the same time is not fun. Actually, it hurts. A LOT. And many other negative things result from it.

So of course, part of me wants to lay on the couch and complain about how sick I feel and how much she’s hurting me. But thank God there is a part of me that just laughs because I know this is so temporary. And if you can picture it, it really is kind of funny.

I know there is a life lesson in this and I’m pretty sure it’s not too hard to figure out. All situations can be good or bad…it’s just how you see it and what you’re going to do about it.
