How in the world this little lady is 10 months old is beyond me, but she is and she is my everything ❤️Almost 2 years ago, I was reeling from the loss of our 2nd baby. It was my first miscarriage and I had no answer as to why it happened or what happened. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We struggled with another miscarriage shortly after, and I was left feeling full of sadness trying to accept that I may never be able to have another baby. Every test came back inconclusive. We had no answers. But, then our miracle happened. This little love bug gave us a scare half way through the pregnancy, but she made it, and she is perfect. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I've been reflecting a lot on our story this morning. I've been feeling down lately. I don't know if it's 2020 in general. I don't know if it's that I'm just so exhausted from everything we've taken on in our lives the past two months. But, a friend was quick to remind me today that your attitude changes everything -- and is she so right!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

With Jo, I didn't give up. I remained positive. I prayed. I prayed for peace and understanding. For acceptance that things were out of my control. I changed my mindset and kept a positive attitude.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I find myself needing to do the same thing today. So, I'm going to stop my Negative Nancy thinking and get back to it. I'm going to smile. I'm going to accept I can't get everything done in one day, and just chip away at what can be done. I'm going to pour another cup of coffee & enjoy the day.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I'm going to remind myself that I have everything I need right here at home. A healthy and happy family, which is all I ever prayed for and needed 💕
