pregnancy memories: struggle

mom and dad are having a rough time right now little one. i think you can tell because my body has been getting so restless. marriage is a really big trial, one day you might understand. all i can think to tell you is that every decision you make with your future other half is important. there are so many roads to take! but you have to decide to take each road together. we love you little bird. i hope we can raise you to be true to yourself and those around you. my mom always told me that Heavenly Father had given me to her for safekeeping, and for her to teach me to make good decisions and trust in Him. i hope that we can raise you with the same values our parents did with us, but i hope we can teach you in a way that you will understand those values at an earlier age than we did. your dad and i have been through a lot of trials that have shaped our lives. i know we can't decide everything for you, but i hope we can give you the best start possible so that you will know how to understand everything in your way. just the fact that you are coming here to us means that you know you are a child of God and that this is the right path for you to start on! i hope we can teach you to remember that. i love you so much little bird, forever and always!
