But mostly....we are just excited because babies are fun. Like puppies they smell good, make funny faces, do silly things and are great cuddlers. We love holding and singing and feeling like this tiny little wonder will achieve every great promise this world has to offer.
Unfortunately, you are set for a disappointment unless you also realize that every little thing you do from the moment you are pregnant until your child is a successful adult - everything you do matters!
Yes, you have created a new life. But the responsibility for that new life doesn't stop with fertilization. That new life must be created at every point. You have created a clean slate and with the exception of DNA and a few personality "tendencies", you will determine much of what his/her life is like.
That's quite a responsibility. Once the excitment of "I'm pregnant" calms down and the morning sickness sets in...perhaps it's time to consider your new job. Sometimes your new job will feel like it's the greatest joy in the world. And sometimes your new job will feel like the greatest weight in the world.
Just remember, that if you make a plan, pray, become a mommy detective and give your very best.....you and your child will reap the rewards.
I will be praying for you!
Seeking His Wisdom,
Debbie
