Sometimes you just can't win for losing. Sometimes, you wake up on the wrong side of the bed and just fall off of it! You get up, brush your self off, and move on. Then you slip on a banana peel and land in a mud puddle. Some times, birds poop on your head
It was one of those days.... I woke up to an alarm too early in the morning. I got out of bed and got beat up by a baby. He can't help it. he just wants to be born, but him wanting to be born kept me hurting and sent me straight to bed when church was over. To make my tearful self more tearful, during the middle of church, I got a text from my boss, telling me I was in trouble. When I got home, I tried to get my mind off of it all by packing my hospital bag, but when I looked for a list of suggestions in my "What to Expect When You're Expecting" book, I found an article on stillbirth instead, and made myself cry!
So what do you do when a bird poops on your head? Take a shower and laugh about it. I can laugh about today. Shoot! I can even be happy about it. I hurt because I'm going to have a baby, and thinking about my little Titus makes it worth it. I may have missed pretty much all of church today, but I had awesome new friends to sit and talk with me. I may have read about stillbirth and made myself cry, but I can laugh at my hormones for making me forget that Ty's still very much alive. Josh may have come home to find me crying like a crazy person, but we got to laugh about it together and he let me drink his lemonade.
At the end of the day, no matter what stupid things happened, I still have a baby. I still have a job. I still have awesome friends. And my husband still lets me drink his lemonade. Birds can poop on me if they want to, but I can still take a shower.
oh, bless your heart ... what a day!! glad you found some joy among the discomforts and sadness :) God is always good!! And by the way, I love the name titus!
