I'll always have compassion for those struggling to conceive. There's no way I could forget those months and months of emotions and feelings I experienced throughout our journey. I remember posting on my other blog about how it just made me so mad sometimes that teenagers or others I deemed as "non-deserving" could get pregnant so easily when I was so ready and willing. Over the course of my journey I learned to stop thinking that way and stop comparing my situation to others. I tried not to judge others or their abilities and this helped to ease my mind quite a bit.
But I don't think I ever really got "it". Not until today at least.
I came across this article via one of the Facebook pages I follow:

The kicker in this blog post is this:
But what may be even more important than your preparation is that of your baby’s preparation. Is your baby ready to come?
I so wholeheartedly agree with this and in my mind it makes complete sense! Everyone who knows me knows that I firmly believe that everything happens for a reason. And in order to truly believe this I have to believe in the possibility that my baby just was not ready to come to Earth all of the time before...and I'm so happy they waited. Because now I get to experience pregnancy during a great time of the year and I get to look forward to May, even more so than I already do each year.
Anyway, to me this was very profound and I wish I'd had this mindset months and months ago...but I'm also glad I went through the emotional struggles I did because it has only made me stronger.
