You are healing. God is healing you and giving you beauty with your boy. <br /><br />You will never, ever have this season of life with your sweet boy again - do not waste it regretting choices, decisions or judging yourself. There is NO condemnation in Christ and that goes for not condemning yourself. Cherish the beauty you've been given, the happiness you have now. Don't lose it on the negative things. <br /><br />I trust that God had a plan in all of this for you. To grow you, to show you how there are many more paths than just one to feeding a baby or skinning a cat. :) <br /><br />You are a beautiful, loved, brave and incredible Mama. With all my heart, I want you to know these things deeply of yourself. <3 ~ your name twin. :)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17080645655001909887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433309594292692429.post-18257138036165941752013-07-26T12:48:23.538-04:002013-07-26T12:48:23.538-04:00Oh, the burden of having to be THE ONE who makes t...Oh, the burden of having to be THE ONE who makes the choices. I truly believe that's the toughest (but also the best) part of being a parent. And it just never really stops. Sometimes you just want to say, "can't someone else just tell me what to do? is there someone I can trust to really tell me what's right?". Thankfully, you found that person in God and you listened. I'm so proud of you! Through you words I feel like I can picture a happy Rausch family - Z, you, and Michael - and that's what these moments should be all about. what a blessing you'll be to future moms, friend. as we know, EVERYONE's experience is different, and I believe the greatest way you can help other new mothers is to share your story. its so comforting to hear of other's struggles, right? bad to say, but oh so true! love you :)annajaninehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04531841660381734287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433309594292692429.post-61117995698329054102013-07-26T12:19:17.905-04:002013-07-26T12:19:17.905-04:00Maybe I can say this because I am not a mom yet, b...Maybe I can say this because I am not a mom yet, but I think you are being too hard on yourself. You gave it a try and it didn't work out. Be proud of yourself for trying and for making a decision that ultimately is best for you, baby and husband.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194393159394873939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433309594292692429.post-79693263667343130262013-07-26T10:16:24.343-04:002013-07-26T10:16:24.343-04:00I think as mothers, especially new mothers, we are...I think as mothers, especially new mothers, we are the first to judge ourselves. I know I have. I feel some regret for having a C-Section, so I have to remind myself daily that I still accomplished the ultimate goal. I'm sorry the breast feeding didn't work out for you, especially since you really wanted it to, but the bottom line is you have a healthy, happy, growing baby. Instead of guilt, be proud of yourself for facing a difficult decision and making the choice that is the best for your family.

However I had no problems with my 2nd. Don't judge yourself too harshly. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16033501553476437485noreply@blogger.com
