In May, we announced that we were expecting baby girl #2. The day after Kailee's 1st birthday party, we made up some cards that were thank you's on the outside and a new baby announcement on the inside. We dropped them off on our family's doorsteps and waited for them to find them! Yes, I was about 4 months when we started to tell everyone! We waited so long to tell everyone because one, I wasn't sure how I felt about having another one so soon and two, I wasn't sure how other people would take the news. After all, Kailee was only 8 months when we found out we were going to add another to the family! Turns out, everyone was excited for us and I didn't have any reason to worry!
Good Things To Remember
"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. You have to agree that you are 'less' and that someone else is 'more' to feel inferior. If you don't agree, you cannot possibly feel inferior. You might know something less, or you might be able to do something less, but you ARE unique and hence simply incomparable.... Do not buy into being reduced to an object of comparison."
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brillant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." Marianne Williamson
