Our 4th Child

9/26/2012

0 Comments

 
I had a routine doctor's visit today.  Nothing unusually or special just a regular check-up.  The unexpected part came as I was reminded twice I had miscarried five years ago almost to the day.  Sitting quietly in the waiting room, I looked over my paperwork including my past history. "4 pregnancies" it read. My initial thought was, "That's crazy.  I only have three children."  Then almost within the very same breath I realized it said, "Pregnancies." Oh!  The pain associated with that miscarriage never completely left, and this place doesn't allow me to forget.  Wow, five years!  Had it really been that long?  I later sat across from a nurse who restated the fact again, "You have had four pregnancies."  "Yes," I quietly spoke in response.  Vivid images filled my mind as I recalled sitting in this parking lot alone crying out to God in tears after the ultrasound revealed our child was not alive.  

I didn't expect any emotions to be associated with this visit today.  But there was.  It was real. I love that child.  Always will!  It was good for me to think about that little one today.  Four pregnancies.  Yes. Three children.  Yes.  Three here, and one there waiting for me...  One day we will meet!

A Child's Lesson

 Saw a church billboard today that made an impact on me.  

It said, "A Parent's Life is a Child's Handbook."

Powerful thoughts to think that my life is the training manual my kids receive.  

Who edits this thing I call "my life?!"  Left me convicted and thinking...

    Welcome to the
    Simply Becoming blog.  It's Simply Becoming because we are all on a "becoming" journey. You are going to become who God created you to be! Grab your favorite warm drink and hang out with me.  I'm glad you are here!  

    "I married my college sweetheart.  We've been rocking this thing called marriage for 21 years (he’s a rock).  When I say we've been rocking it, we have.  Some great times and some not so great times.  But we are in it together, and that makes it worth it.  We have three awesomely, adventurous, & athletic boys (ages 16, 15, and 11). They fill my heart with joy and my laundry room with a stinky, sweaty aroma. I’m a craver of quiet, cheerleader at heart, lover of sunsets, and prayer is my love language. I’ve written two books, have been an adjunct professor over the years at Grace College, and I am currently a part of a network marketing company that I love! In a nutshell, that’s me!"

    Author of the Simply Becoming blog, Rebecca Dawson, is a Master's Level counselor, former adjunct Graduate Professor for the Grace College Counseling Department, and author of the parenting books, Stamped on Every Child's Heart- Impulsive Behavior and Help! I'm a Mom To Be!  

    Rebecca has been interviewed on television and radio broadcasts, and written articles on postpartum and parenting including for Focus on the Family.
