Thinking Out Loud
So, I like to post twice a week, but sometimes it’s a little exhausting to think and feel the “preemie babies” topic so often because it’s such an emotional topic. Even though my preemie doesn’t seem as much like a preemie anymore because she’s three years old, almost every post I write requires delving into my memories and digging up emotions and experiences from the very beginning.
There are so many things in my life that I’m trying to improve right now. I love my girls more than I ever dreamed possible and I always want to do what’s best for them. As some of you may know, blogging can be addicting. Once I get started on something it’s so hard to stop – I want to just write and think and find pictures and share my thoughts. It’s a lot of fun to just write what’s in your head, isn’t it? It’s fun to see what kinds of things you can come up with to talk about and it’s exciting when you find that someone is actually reading it. That’s the best part about it, because all of us want to make a difference somehow, don’t we? We want our experiences to inspire and encourage someone, we want our influence to stretch past the walls of our home. Sometimes all of the energy and effort we put into making our home a sanctuary, and raising our little kidlets, somehow doesn’t seem to be enough. But, of course, it’s a huge responsibility and accomplishment to raise competent children who are happy and healthy and enthusiastic about life. It is enough.
I guess I’m confessing that if it comes to writing a blog post or playing a game with my kids, you’ll most often find me playing a game. The risks I face having children have put a limit on how many of my own children I can have, and I don’t want any of this precious time while they are young to be wasted. I want to savor it and be able to look back on this time with no regrets. My children and my husband are my number one priority in life and I want to make sure that they know that without a doubt.
Thanks for listening to my “thinking out loud”. And, by the way, the forum can become a wonderful hot spot for all of you to discuss preemie concerns and get your daily questions answered by other preemie parents. However, its current emptiness is not very welcoming and I need all of you to fill it up with anything and everything you want to talk about. Then, it will grow on its own and become a wonderful hub for preemie discussions. Please take a minute and post what’s on your mind :).
Thanks everyone!
