Bittersweet

This weekend all the maternity clothes were packed up and stored away.  I'm so glad to have my baby girl here, but I'd be lying if I didn't say I am a little sad to no longer be pregnant.  Pregnancy occupies such a short time in life.  I re-read my posts from early in pregnancy over the weekend as well.  I'd forgotten already how sick I'd felt.  I still wouldn't trade my experience being pregnant with Ruby for anything, and I'll never forget how wonderful the end was when I could feel her moving all the time and anticipate her arrival.  I'm just so, so thankful to have had this experience, and I truly hope that I will need the contents of that box again some day.
