Darker Days
At the end of my most recent class I discovered I was pregnant. Most women would have been thrilled, over the moon, so grateful and full of joy... I was not. I did NOT want to be pregnant. I was angry at God, angry at Mitch and mostly angry at myself. I do not like being pregnant, I do not particularly like the baby stage, I do not like being up every 2 hours to a screaming infant, I do not like having to share myself with yet another person... Don't get me wrong, I love my boys with all of my heart, but the idea of something- anything! taking me away from them absolutely killed me. Not to mention financially! We were not prepared to have a third child. I slipped into a depression. I stopped going to school. I stopped taking pictures. I stopped being happy. Then we discovered it was a girl. Mitch was thrilled. I was terrified. I don't like girls, never have. But everyone around me thought it was such a great thing... So I opened my mind and heart to the possibilities. And absolutely fell in love. Meet Lily. Lily Faith LaVire. Due May 21st, 2012.
