Overwhelmed left me the keys to her place, to check in, water the plants, post on her blog. hehe. I am quite honoured to do so really. You see I really admire her as a woman and as a mother. It seems like I am on a constant search for women that are amazing mothers that share their stories.

When I first started reading Overwhelmed, she was posting her journey to motherhood in a series. I was captivated and would long for the next part to be shared. At the time, I was healing or attempting to heal from the loss of our second pregnancy. Taking Overwhelmed's journey with her gave me a hope I had not had.

We were trying desperately since the miscarriage to conceive again. I wanted the baby we had lost so badly and was crushed to discovered it had not made it. Thankfully we did not get pregnant for months, even though that stressed me out, it did give me time to heal.

Everything happens for a reason they say. I believe that more than ever now. My daughter has had some medical issues that have needed my full attention and I am grateful that I have been able to give this time to her.

I am scared to death that I will lose the little baby that is suppose to be growing ever so safely inside me. I am trying to keep my faith and believe that everything will be ok.

Experiencing Overwhelmed's journey helped me come to terms with the very notion that everything happens for a reason. I read the love that they share for their little boy. Every event that they had to experience, good and bad led them to be his parents. Nothing beats that. It is amazing to be touched by someone else's words like this, and I am glad I can give back by posting today.

No matter where this road leads for us, I am grateful that I share in the experiences of amazing women and mothers. Oh, I better go water the plants before go ... Have a great long weekend everyone and thanks for letting me come over and share!
