A powerful message at the right time...

So this last week or so I have been feeling a little down. With this pregnancy my hips particularly my left side has been killing me. Some days are better then others but they still ache and hurt every day. I have also been feeling huge, not entirely fitting into maternity clothes, needing a bigger bra....again. Feeling overwhelmed and stressed with other things as well. You know, it all seemed depressing to me and I was having a pitty party and then yesterday, I watched this video of an amazing woman who has to go through so much. You will understand when you watch it. My mom and cousin have been following this woman's blog for about a year now, and my mom probably told me about her, but I needed to hear it right now in this point in my life. I am very grateful for everything that I have and that I have a wonderful husband who loves and supports and takes care of me. (Even when or especially when I'm a crazy cranky pregnant lady with way too many hormones going through my body......poor guy) Needless to say, I'm feeling alot better about everything and very humbled.
Anyways, once you start watching this, you won't be able to stop. It is 8 minutes long and normally I don't watch anything for very long, but I was glued. It was heart wrenching, and inspiring at the same time.
