Okay, so my Mom and I went to the theater today to see the new movie "The Odd Life of Timothy Green". It was an absolutely spectacular movie. It was so inspiring to me as a "soon to become mother". I learned that being a parent is such a special and precious gift. I also realized that there are so many couples out there who would make amazing parents that can't conceive. And there are also so many couples who have no desire to become parents and don't even care about kids who are able to conceive more than 1 child. To me, it doesn't seem fair, but I understand that God has a bigger plan for us all even when it doesn't really seem like it. In the movie Cindy and Jim Green are told that they are infertile. They are devastated, and their world is turned upside down. They are the best couple to have a baby, yet they cannot. Eventually Cindy decides she's going to give up and move on, but Jim refuses to let her. They take a notebook and write down all of the qualities that "their kid" would have. They then put them in a box and bury it in their garden. That was the night that little Timothy appeared. Timothy was exactly what they had pictured in "their kid". They loved and treated him the way they should. I'm not going to give the whole movie away, but it really did touch my heart. Timothy taught them that it doesn't matter what other people think of you or if you are different. Being odd, or different is what makes us unique. I am so appreciative to God that Jared and I were able to create a life. I can't wait till my little one gets here so that I can begin the parenting adventures. It's going to be amazing! It'll also be hard at times, and I know that, I'm still excited about every part about it. Jared and I are going to make mistakes as parents. As Cindy said, we'll make mistakes while trying to fix mistakes. It's going to be super tough at times, but I'm going to enjoy every bit of life with my kids and my husband.
