Single Mothers

Poor thing. Skyler is so miserable. She's 32 weeks now and can NOT get comfortable, losing sleep, still nauseous, hasn't gained any weight yet and has had a painful pregnancy-- down low and now up high on her diaphragm has been painful where she even cries from the pain. I don't remember pregnancy being painful at all, but it's different for everyone so grandmother is a nervous wreck with worry. She has an appointment Wednesday morning which is always good. I sent her this note last night.
Hi Sweetie,

I found this quote that a single mother had made and I thought it was very beautiful.

"Girls like me have raised presidents. We've raised messiahs and musicians, writers and settlers. Girls like me won't compromise and we won't fail." ~Anonymous


Always hold your head up. Although some days you may not feel like it, you have been given the most prestigious honor in the world-- to become a Mother. I couldn't be more proud of you.

xoxo
Mom

I heard somewhere that a tough pregnancy generally foreshadows a good soulful baby which sleeps through the night early on:)
I wouldn't know. Both my pregnancies were a breeze and neither one of my girls slept well through the night until they were well into their 2nd year.
Can't wait to see the first photos.
