The Miracle of Childbirth

 

    Have you ever thought about how amazing childbirth is? Like honestly! A man and a woman have the ability to create another person! A woman's body changes, as if by magic, to fit this baby who is growing inside of her. Then when it's time, her body changes again so that this individual can come into the world. How can there not be a God? Her body can do this as many times as it needs to in order to bring children into this world, but it doesn't stop there. The body continues to provide for this individual, it takes her food and turns it into milk to nourish the child. 

    I know that today it seems as though woman want to be equal to men, but can a man carry and nourish a baby in their womb? NO! We as woman have such an amazing gift to create and nourish children. Heavenly Father created us equally but He didn't intend for us to be the same. 

    My husband and I decided we wanted to grow our family on our two year anniversary, it took us almost exactly a year to get pregnant with our sweet boy. Throughout the pregnancy I was able to feel little Leo moving around, his favorite time was when his papi would watch soccer games. When we would watch soccer Leo became so active as if he was playing off of Chris' emotion. Then when we would go to bed Chris would put his hand on my stomach and sure enough there was Leo pushing up against papi trying to cuddle. This special time I had with my baby in my body was so magical. Now I can still see how my body changes to continue to nurture him. Leo won't take bottles if I'm ever in the room, I don't know if it's because he wants what's fresh or if he enjoys feeding time together, but how awesome to experience this! I've never felt a love like this before. Heavenly Father is good, He loves me and He has blessed me with the gift of being a mother!
