The more I read...Thank You for sharing your story. The more I read,the more I heard my own heart. I had the exact same feelings, emotions, quilt, when Ellie was born. It was so hard to share my feelings without feeling quilty I was feeling that way. Having C-sectoin with now both my girls still breaks my heart to even talk about. Yes, I have wonderful healthy children, and I am blessed. But the unexplainable feeling still about not giving birth to them naturally haunts me just talking about it everyday. If you have never experienced a C-section, then it is, I'm sure hard for others to understand. I have never experienced a natural child birth and never will. I will never know the feeling (people say happens) when your child is put into your arms for the first time and you are overwhelmed with passion. I first saw both of my kids for the first time laying on a table across the room. I could go on forever. But thanks again for sharing your story, and if you ever want to visit, I'm here to listen, share, and definatly understand.

As moms, there is so much pressure to do things the "right way," but none of us really have it figured out! There are so many pressures to bond immediately like magic, and there is a learning curve. They need to learn us, and we need to learn them. That's where the beauty is in motherhood - really learning each other. Just like marriage, that takes time. I've tried to describe motherhood this way: when you get engaged, you really think you know everything there is to know about the person you're marrying. And then you get married, and there's a learning curve! It's a new level that you can't understand until you walk through it. Same thing as a new mom. You spend 9 months thinking you KNOW this baby, and then they come out and you don't! Too many people hide these feelings out of shame, insecurity, etc. but if we'd all talk about it, we'd realize how very, very, very normal it is. I think every mom deals with it. So thank you! And even though you birth didn't turn out the exact way you wanted it, as you know, God had her birth story planned since the beginning of time. And you DID give birth to her. You shared your body with her for 9-10 months, and even now with nursing, and you brought her into this world. The way we give birth doesn't make us any more or less worthy of motherhood - as you said, for some reason, the Lord chooses us for these babies, and you are the perfect momma for that sweet girl. :)Rebecca (Craving Simplicity)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00109040185395048429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7938664222527474525.post-3030250382667639492013-04-26T03:00:19.900+08:002013-04-26T03:00:19.900+08:00I haven't been in your shoes.

BUT I have had such a different time this time around (Will's one but I still feel like I'm going through it) with postpartum. I bonded very differently with both of my boys (I bonded WAY faster with Will but emotionally felt very different on the inside) and I reacted differently as I recovered and got myself going again. Emotionally the second time around was SO much harder. It is SO tough to be a mama. I'm so thankful you wrote this post. I'll be thinking about you!Lauren and Eddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09761829833232522912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7938664222527474525.post-70962931118868821942013-04-25T22:05:10.344+08:002013-04-25T22:05:10.344+08:00I love your heart and I wish I could hug you tight...I love your heart and I wish I could hug you tight.
