All my ladies

Both my kids are taking a nap and I started doing my normal one hour, "cleaning catchup," and because the house was so darn quiet my mind started wondering...

I'm really not the religious type but I do believe and have faith that god gives you the opportunity to be a mother because he knows you can handle it. God never gives you more than you can handle. It's what my mom always tells me when I think life isn't fair. It hurts my heart to know that there are some of my girl friends that really want the opportunity to be a mother and they would be great at it but have not been blessed with a child. Then I hear about other moms who get to have a child even though they never wanted one. Some give their baby up for adoption because they had unprotected sex and cannot provide for the child. Some decide to keep the baby they didn't want but still smoke and drink while pregnant even though god has given them an angel to care for. Mother's like that do not deserve to be blessed with a child.

There is one soon to be mommy that I am so proud of! She is the strongest girl and has been through a lot in her life and never ever planned to have kids. Ever! And she made a huge mistake and now she is pregnant. She of course is keeping the baby. And she is saving every dime she makes and is eating healthy and taking care of herself. She is scared and still can't believe this is happening to her but she is keeping her head high and is hoping for the best! Now that's what makes me smile! She never wanted to have a baby but she does deserve to be blessed with a child and I know she is going to be a wonderful mommy! ;)

Have you heard about the "Octomom?" Her name is Nadya Suleman. She has 14 children now. She is going to school but does not have a job. She has 6 children already and then decided to have one more and that one more turned out to be 8 babies. Thank god they are all doing well! Three of the 6 children have disabilities and who knows what kind of problems the Octuplets will have. I have nothing against this Mom wanting to have children and being blessed with so many and not having any complications. But my only protest to her being able to keep and care for these children is the way she chose to be blessed with so many children. She decided after her divorce to save some of her eggs. Well she got excited about being a mom and had a couple fertilized and implanted. She ended up pregnant and had one baby. She did this 4 times and had 4 children. Each time being implanted with 2-3 fertilized eggs. All while going to school and living in her mother's home. Then she did it again and got twins! Now there's 6 children all in 5 years time. One after another. She did not want to waste any time or for that matter any eggs. So after the twins she got the doctor to implant the rest of her frozen eggs, 6 fertilized eggs at one time, which is very dangerous and something doctors do not do regularly, and 7 little baby's were formed. Then to everyone's suprise an eighth baby came along. So 6 plus 8 is 14! Crazy!!?!!! I think she is a very selfish mother! She didn't want the eggs to go to waste so she just implants them all at the same time?? How dare she put those babies at risk like that. And now her 6 children at home 3 with disabilities won't be given the care they need if there are 8 babies at home. And being a mom of 2 there is no way this mother can take care of 8 babies all by herself. She does have her mom helping her and some friends but they can't be there 24-7. What will she do when she's had no sleep, no time to eat, or pee for that matter?? She's nuts and I pray those babies are taken care of. It just boggles my mind how she could do that to those angels from heaven.

Wow, I really went off on a tangent. It just breaks my heart that some woman try and try to have children and decide to dothe invetro-fertilization thinga-ma-bob and get implanted with 2-3 fetilized eggs and end up have one or twins or triplets and then they stop. They feel so blessed to have had the chance to have one pregnancy. And this crazy lady doesn't want to waste any children so she implants them all. Why not give her healthy eggs to another woman who can't have children. Then they wouldn't be wasted and they would be brought into this world with a mom who probably could support and care for them. There I go again...

Anyways, I pray someday my friends will be blessed with their own little angel. And I do hope I can be blessed with more children later down the road as long as I have no complications. I can't help but be a little selfish in wanting to be complication free during delivery! The darn doctors keep messing with nature!! But it scares me to death to be at home and not be able to have a transfusion to save my life if I needed one. Eek! Maybe at home if the 3rd is complication free. Maybe! Don't worry, I'm not having anymore for a long time! I might think about it in 5 years!! When Layla is big enough to fold laundry! lol! ;)

I love you girls and moms. You are strong and beautiful! :)
