Wow, it has been nearly four months since my last post-I am so behind. Our dear little Simon arrived at 7:22pm on March 12 and he is the most amazing and precious gift I have ever been given. He is also the reason behind my lagging attention to the blog. Whoops!
First I have to express what joy it is to experience having a child. I think I marvel every day that I get to be his mommy. We waited and wondered for so long whether we would get to experience having a child. And now that he is here it feels like he's been here forever. I don't know whether we will be blessed with more children in the future, but I know that I am so grateful for the blessing of this one. I will be satisfied whatever the future holds. I know that's a lot easier to say now that I have a child, but I really think I could have said that before
Simon, too. This whole process of being diagnosed with PCOS has really helped me to realize that I am not even a little bit in control of what happens
God guided us to the right doctor, brought us the diagnosis we had been searching for, and provided a way above it. Whatever the outcome, He would have glorified Himself. We are thankful that a baby was part of His plan for us.
Since Simon's arrival, I have been learning what it means to manage PCOS after childbirth and that is going
to be my focus for now. I have some thoughts on returning to my PCOS diet (a new development as of this week, partially brought on by some sensitivities Simon seems to have) and fertility that I plan to discuss in a future post. For now, naptime has ended and I need to return to mommy duty.
