Pushed my thankful reset button

So tonight I was just in a bad mood.  The kids were acting up, my dh was being critical of me, and I have a mound of laundry and paperwork that never seems to get done.  I sat down at the computer and checked the 4 blog sites I have bookmarked of mothers who have lost their babies to trisomy 18.  I read their struggles, I say a prayer, and I realize I should just be thankful and let all of the stress of the day roll off my shoulders.

    I just got the best news, that my friends baby, who has had numerous interuterine transfusions through her umbiblical cord because of a viral infection, has a heart defect that was thought to need immediate open heart surgery, was born last night and doesn't have to have surgery right away, maybe later, but not immediately and is otherwise healthy and fine.   I am over the top thrilled for them.

    Those are so sad.  Our NT came back 1 in 3 for a serious birth defect, so I spent some time wondering what I would do.  I am so thankful that I never had to make the choices these families did.

    yeah, the first link is a mom who live locally. Then just found the other ones linked to her site. I can't imagine. More I think I am just moved with how much grace and faith they handle their problems with. I am not trying to say I never lose it, I do, alot. I just feel like seeing stories like that puts things a bit more into perspective.
