Relaxing Doesn't Make Babies

Laying here in bed, bloated from dinner and ice cream, I pictured for a moment laying here pregnant again, feeling a baby move within me. Not Devin… someone else. The next one.

The image soothed me. And for a moment I loved that future child as fiercely as I do Devin.

It will happen. And I will be okay.

    Awesome natalie, simply awesome. it’s okay to look ahead and picture your next. you are only adding to your family, not replacing Devin. you are adding to the legacy that is your family. wow. i can’t wait to see the belly pics. it’ll be fun for you to compare them to your pg w/ Devin, “I’m so much ______ (bigger/smaller)” etc. yes, it is going to be nice :) i loved being pregnant both times despite the outcome of the first. from what i’ve read you too love being pg and you are a cute pg girl!! :)

    I can’t wait for you to get a bfp…to feel your baby move..to glow with motherness again.
