Sometimes life is just crazy.
Someone I know really well whose Hubby had a vasectomy a year ago…is now pregnant with twins and just announced it officially!!!!! Ya ya..we had a few suspicions over the last weeks but thought a large lunch was responsible not an unexpected pregnancy! I mean this qualifies to me like the the birth of baby Jesus(s)!
Life certainly presents us with surprises doesn’t it????
So just found out this big news. BIG news. And started to wonder: What would I do in this situation? Could I handle this?? What would I do? Anyways just made me put my own life into perspective a little and made me think a lot.
I thought it deserved a blog post and she agreed I needed to post this on my blog so that she actually sees it written and actually believe it herself!
I guess it all depends how we perceive the way we handle surprises in life; do we view them as obstacles or as gifts of fate? How do we handle in life what we have not planned or expected? I think it is in these moments when we are trulydefined as people. Where our true characters are revealed. The planned stuff is a piece of cake really because we have time to think, and absorb and deal with our thoughts. The unplanned stuff is where the real fun begins. How do you handle cards that are thrown at you or towards you without your “consent” necessarily? Are you graceful? Resentful? Able to cope?
A Huge congrats to this amazing girl who will now have a double surprise on top of her existing crew . Knowing her and the wonderful Mommy she is….this was certainly meant to be for those two babies and they will be lucky to count her as their MomJ She is a woman filled with grace…and I am in awe of how she is handling this news.
She will definitely be the type to handle this news as a gift and never look back. She will embrace every moment of it (as soon as she is out of shock and off the floor).
As for me? Well I am terrified that this would happen to me too now! (selfish I know thinking about me during her big news) I called my own Hubby and he was paralyzed with fear too for us-poor soul . I guess my next bath with him will be next Valentine’s day eh?
Well I do like the little powered scent of babies…..their cute little dimples…their adorable little noises. Hmmmmm…
Not!
