And speaking of - I'm so excited about Mother's Day this year. This weekend I'm going to celebrate my first Mother's Day. And honestly? It's still kind of surreal. Technically last year was my first Mother's Day, as I was pregnant at the time. We actually announced on social media that we were expecting on Mother's Day see our announcement picture in this Peanut Butter Banana Blender Muffins post! I mentioned it briefly in that post, but I've been thinking again lately about the apprehension that surrounded us for years about starting our own family.
Specifically, I've been thinking about the power fear holds over our lives, when it should hold no place. When I was diagnosed with PCOS I was explicitly told that I would not be able to get pregnant without help, and that I may never be able to conceive or carry a child. When I was told this, we weren't planning on trying for a family in the immediate future, but we both deeply wanted a family one day. At some point over the years I started to live with so much fear and anxiety about getting pregnant.
The more time that went on, the more I wanted to start our family. But I was always so afraid. I was afraid that I had never lost all the weight I gained from PCOS, hypothyroidism, and years of poorly managed stress, and I was immensely anxious if and how that would play a factor in our journey to grow our family.
I was afraid of what would happen when we officially started to try. What if we tried and we couldn't get pregnant? I got so anxious about trying to achieve perfection before starting to try.
You know - perfect jobs, perfect finances, perfect marriage, perfect house, perfect life, perfect health, etc. Which obviously is unattainable, and of course, created more frustration and pressure. When we finally decided to stop waiting, it turns out the longest of the waiting was in the past.
I do believe everything happens for a reason. I'm grateful for the life I lived and lessons I learned and am still learning from those years waiting to start our family.
But every time I look at my beautiful daughter's sweet, cheeky face grinning up at me, I'm reminded of the power of faith and the grace and beauty that comes from not letting fear take hold over your life. This lesson is one I can apply to so many areas of my life, and time and time again I'm realizing that fear can be the worst part of the battle, simply because of how it intensifies the negativity.
