Really good. This adds even more perspective on the amazing gift of bringing a life into the world.

Yet more proof that a woman must be over come with a God given insanity to subject herself to such a life changing process. You are nuts babe...as proven by the four + 1, you already have. Though the article on the same website about Gandhi really made me question the moralitiy of birth control.

As the author was questioning the entire birth process, she wrote this line that I especially like--

"Perhaps this paradigm was not "normal," but it was holy."

Wow...those last sentances were very moving. I never thought of birth in such a meaningful way.

I totally identify with this--"Yes, I did go to work every day, but for three months I felt far worse than I ever had on a "sick day."

I was going to school when I was sick with Selah. I remember how hard it was to walk to class from the parking lot, to study or do anything. I felt sick enough to be hospitalized for food poisening yet I had to go through everyday doing normal stuff and taking care of business. I'm dreading the sickness that will likely come with the third pregnancy but just like the artical communicates you do it out of love...and you are willing to suffer for a child you love even if they are teny tiny and you havn't even seen their face. Amazing how God loved us even before we were born.
