Here is Gavin eating a pop tart while waiting for me to spin him in the chair.
I may not be as busy as someone who has 4 or 5 kids, or even 2, but if I have made Gavin happy I feel pretty good about my days work.
When I use to think about my future, I did not dwell much on the thoughts of, "what if I can't get pregnant." When I am feeling really bad for myself over the fact that I can not get pregnant easily or the loss of the other 3 pregnancies I have had, all I need do is make Gavin smile or laugh and life is good. Gavin is not prefect, but he his mine and if he is the only special spirit the Lord gives me in this life, I will never take him for granted and love him with all my being.
I often think of something my Grandma West said once, instead of thinking "why me", try to think "why not me." I will always look to my Grandmothers example of faith when things don't seem fair. I have been chosen to experience this trial in this life and will try to learn what I need to from it.

Jenny, Your words are so inspired, and I think you wrote them just for me. Whether you have 1 or 3 kids, atleast you're not taking them for granted. I struggle with that. You're amazing!
Grandma is so awesome,she'd be proud of you!
