I like the "because God had bigger plans for me than I had for myself" on your signature line. I tell myself that all the time. When I had my DD 12 yrs ago, we were working like crazy and it all went by so fast from what I remember. I kept telling myself "with the next one you can slow down and savor every little thing". Well, that wasn't in the plans..10 years of trying (with no explainations of why we can't get pregnant really), quitting my job because my doc laughingly said "it was stress), 2 miscarriages later, and we have accepted that there are different plans for our family.... I have had the opportunity to love and mother seven children in less than 2 years, with each touching our lives in their own special way.
