Peace
I realized recently that I’ve made peace with my babies’ birth.
There is no point in holding a grudge against my body. I’ve forgiven it
There is no point in holding a grudge against myself. I didn’t choose their premature birthdate.
There is no point in wishing the babies hadn’t needed to fight so hard so early in life. Their battle scars don’t run deep.
There is no point in feeling badly for our different experience. Differences make life more interesting.
Things happened in their own way, not at all as I had planned, but so did our entire family-growing experience.
I never planned on the physical and emotional pain of a battle with infertility. I never planned on triplets.
Plans are for suckers. All that matters is that life is good, no matter how events take place.

You’re inspirational, my friend.
“Plans are for suckers.”
True dat.
you are so right. Plans are for suckers. I feel like we’ve shared our different experiences and you have helped me so very much
You are an inspiration.
“Plans are for suckers” I like that!
ah love your outlook on life and your babies! So happy you have three, healthy happy babies to love, and who love you! XOXO
Your positive outlook is inspiring! It has taken me nearly two years now (and counting) to come to terms with my c-section! And I didn’t have any other issues. You’re such an inspiration, Jenny! And those babies of yours are super cute!
You know what they say about making plans 😉 I, too, had plans about adding to our family and BAM surprise! So glad you’re at peace!
love this. amazing attitude.
Love this! Plans are definitely for suckers.

You are awesome. I’m so glad I read this. Hitting that point is a huge release, isn’t it? I’ve found I’m much more flexible and less stressed now that I have the ability to roll with it. My daughter’s unexpected physical difference did that to me… And possibly my growing ADD from social media use.
Yes ma’am! I love this to bits. You are amazing.
If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans. I remind myself of this one often!
You’re amazing. & yes, don’t we know that plans are for suckers.
Thanks, everyone. It’s taken nearly 9 months – almost a full, term gestation. Ironic, no?
