For my challenge this week a page about struggling with pregnancy complications has been weighing heavily on my mind so this page was perfectly therapeutic for me.

"at this point in my pregnancy it is hard to keep perspective. Contracting has started in pretty hard core at only 23 weeks, and I can barely handle the idea of living like this for 17 more weeks. The pain, the worry that things are going wrong and the frustration that comes with not being able to get up off the couch and do all the things that are calling my name. I know that in reality this is only a short time in my life, and I really should not be so overwhelmed by the idea of a few small months - that the time and frustration is a small price to pay for a healthy little newborn baby boy. But I have to confess, my vision is skewed from this place and time. i am struggling to see past the big tight stomach and the long frustrating days... it is hard to remember that I can make it through."
