I had my wedding date at that stage but hadn't started organising anything. You're blog gave me wonderful ideas and encouraged me to be more creative for my own wedding. Now that I five months pregnant I find your blog a source of encouragement and exhilaration when reading about your experiences in childbirth and motherhood.

I am adopted (because my parents couldn't have children)...and it is my fear, that I will not be able to go through this beautiful and amazing process of carying my child. Hearing stories like this make me in awe of the female body and what we are capable of!!!!

I knew you all would relate. <br /><br />I'm so happy that there are so many pregnant mamas out there who are enjoying my fumbling through the first few months!<br /><br />And so many experienced mothers whose babes I've been admiring in blogland for some time.<br /><br />It is the most wonderful club I've ever joined. <br /><br />Erin - No way!! Desiree's class? Good luck with your last few days! I was 4 days late too so don't fret. I'll see you in a few months when you're ready to brave class again. It took me 11 weeks to get there.<br /><br />And to those of you not yet there, you will be one day and it will be totally worth the wait.kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12291233186222706297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053233671037217868.post-90052614651017012472010-06-08T19:22:29.425-07:002010-06-08T19:22:29.425-07:00This is so beautiful.

I am due November 8th and I so appreciate your honesty, humor and insight as I navigate this new space of growing another person and how absolutely huge and amazing it is - but at the same time how natural and how it connects me to all the generations of women before us. So much responsibility, so many questions! Thank you for being my mentor without even knowing it. :)Ashleighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686754784819343986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053233671037217868.post-19128250528976927642010-06-08T18:05:05.617-07:002010-06-08T18:05:05.617-07:00Not yet a Mama, but still my inspiration for the d...Not yet a Mama, but still my inspiration for the day.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12300013624744054216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053233671037217868.post-74759219102656322172010-06-08T16:27:38.306-07:002010-06-08T16:27:38.306-07:00That was the most beautiful and eloquent post xThat was the most beautiful and eloquent post xUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17933762028918497293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053233671037217868.post-10865740191387365062010-06-08T14:31:54.241-07:002010-06-08T14:31:54.241-07:00goodness gracious. what a meaningful post. i'm...goodness gracious. what a meaningful post. i'm not a mother...actually no where near it...but this still struck a chord. you're babe is precious. good job (:Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08096133942330240793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053233671037217868.post-72258185140202670732010-06-08T14:14:06.447-07:002010-06-08T14:14:06.447-07:00so very lovely. my friend holly calls motherhood ...so very lovely. my friend holly calls motherhood "the ultimate club."
