We CAN and WILL Survive
We were supposed to arrive in EUROPE for our honeymoon TODAY!
And I was supposed to be 12 weeks pregnant!
Biiiiig sigh...
This year has been a roller coaster for our family. Sooo many huge highs only to be followed by the lowest lows.
Our wedding was in February, on Valentine's Day. We did an intimate Destination Wedding in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico, with 23 of our closest family & friends.
It all felt like MAGIC!I felt like the luckiest girl in the world
Then we found out we were pregnant!!!
I was bursting with happiness!!!
I thought to myself, IT'S HERE. It's MY TURN!
This is life's gift to me for being patient & staying positive.
(My 1st pregnancy was March 2019. (We could've had a 5 month old baby but it ended tragically & traumatically so we waited almost a year before I was finally emotionally & mentally ready to "try" again.)
We found out we were pregnant (for the 2nd time) just a couple weeks after our wedding. I immediately envisioned myself on our honeymoon (that was supposed to happen in May 2020) taking pictures through Europe with cute outfits as I proudly displayed my baby bump.
I thought all my dreams had come true.
Little did I know...
Everything I was holding on to slipped right through my finger tips.
In addition to us ALL facing the biggest nightmare our generation has lived.
It is still hard to believe how much in such a short time has changed.
And this is only MY STORY.
I am only 1 of billions of people.
The thought of it all is overwhelming & staying positive is taking EXTRA EFFORT these days.
I keep telling myself, "This will pass" because it will.
I know better days are ahead of us.
I FOCUS on THE GOOD OVER THE BAD.
Yes, things could be better, but they could also be much worse.
I find myself reminiscing now more than ever.
I close my eyes & think about good memories & let myself relive those moments.
I am looking at the obstacles in my life as opportunities for growth.
I CAN'T CHANGE WHAT HAS HAPPENED, BUT I CAN CHANGE HOW IT EFFECTS ME.
It's hard, trust me, I KNOW!
But regardless of what we're going through we can & WILL SURVIVE IT.
