New Life Quietly Unfolding in Lovely Meagan




PRECIOUS TO LEARN MEAGAN SHALL SOON  BE A MOM, TOO!

It came as a surprise to learn on Facebook
My sweet daughter who now seems so far away
Is to become a Mom in October.
Motherhood changes everything, for when we first hold our new baby
Another person, not just the husband, has top priority in our lives
Becoming  a mom brings joy  and tears, laughter and challenges we could never anticipate
It changes our  relationship with our partner in ways that may be endearing, and
   yes, sometimes frustrating too, for a baby requires much more attention and commitment
   than even the most beloved pet.  This new person is our responsibility for many years to come.

There may be times we doubt in our own capacity to give him or her the love  this unique child needs.
We may indeed need to reach out so  others can  support us, comfort us  in this new role.
Overwhelm is actually quite common in the early weeks of being a mom,  for the first time.
We need the  support of friends near and far, and if our own  mom is still alive, we may need
    her comfort, her wisdom, her concern in ways we’d  never imagined as a couple.
For suddenly the family has expanded, and we too need to be flexible and capable of changes
   unlike any we’ve experienced before.
Dear Meagan, please know your birthmother Carol would love to be  part of your journey
as you and Jaime embrace becoming parents!  It would be an honor to be a grandma to this new being!      July 16, 2018
