(Hi Kelly, you don’t know me, but I often hit your site cause it makes me smile:))…..The beautiful thing is that Jesus already did everything for this world that we cannot do. God chooses to reveal His glory to people through trials and blessings. Its not our job to fix things, its our job to point people to Christ- the true mediator, protector, healer. He has obviously given you a heart for others that He will use mightily! Congrats on your bundle!

I totally know what you’re talking about!! And girl, it does not make it any easier to be pregnant… this hormonal thing can be Nasty! I sometimes feel so guilty that I’m even pregnant & I’ve never had a miscarriage or lost a child in any way… I’ve never lost a parent or sibling, never faced poverty, never had a husband cheat on me or gone through a divorce… I am so very VERY blessed! And yet I complain…

You’re not alone in feeling this way. And yes, it will get even worse when you have a perfect, sweet baby boy looking up into your eyes every day.
Mommy Guilt–it comes in all forms, but I know EXACTLY what you mean.
There’s no cure, but I think you already know the steps to make it easier. And it will get a wee bit easier when you don’t have all those extra hormones coursing through your system.

Hi Kelly,

Don’t even remember how I found your site-I know it was through another photographer and I completely admire your work..I have been loving your personal blog now that you found out about your pregnancy. You know what…let yourself just feel any way you want to. I think it is beautiful the thoughts you have about wanting to support others and it sounds like you are thankful for everything you have in your life-but you DESERVE it!!! Don’t ever feel guilty for the blessings you have-you and Donny deserve everything you have in your lives-just take a deep breath and be thankful! When I was younger (like undergrad in college) I felt very guilty about not ever having to “struggle” I felt like I was weaker because of it…I now know this was never the case and I was doing my family a disservice by not apppreciating the hard work my family had done to get me to where I am and just the general support I have in my life.

I’ve rambled on too long already. I really wish you all of the best for your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
