Encouraging Quote

Hey ladies! I had posted this over in PGAL this morning, but after all the worrying posts, and the thread about being optimistic I thought we could all use it over here too!

?To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.? -- C.S. Lewis

This encouraged me today to realize that I need to just love my baby every day I get with him/her, not be worried and hesitant to get attached.

 

P.S. On a totally different note.. my only really strong food aversion right now is the "Arby's french dip and swiss" and the commercial for it has come on about 3 times already while I'm watching wheel of fortune... ugh!! I have to keep looking away. Lol

I love my little peanut so much already. Can't wait to meet him/her. Stress is not good for my little one so I will not stress about the thing I can't change and possibly make matters worse. Much love to all my fellow mom's to be.
