Ali, I can honestly say that being the mother of four children has been my most important role in my life. While I was carrying my babies, (I had a singleton followed by triplets) NOTHING prepared me for that all encompassing love and devotion to those little people. I was so blessed, God blessed me with children. Truly one of the the greatest gifts. You will be so enriched. Embrace it, look forward to it.
"Primary caregiver" nothing is more important. Wear that badge with pride.
Dear Sweet Sweet Ali - I know we don't "know" eachother as well as we knew your Brothers, but we've followed and still follow Your Story from conception and God is alive and well and busily at work in Your Life. This next step is such a HUGE Blessing and YOU are ready because the GOD of the universe (which includes Africa) is guiding your every step. I know you know - sometimes you need an arm around your shoulder to encourage you and beyond that, your MOM is such a source of strength and SO ready to help and excited to see you - will you go back? GOD KNOWS! But HE also knows the past, present and future all at the same time and HE smiles....
