A few things I have read over the past few days have really had me thinking. First let me just say i loved being pregnant and motherhood has been the most amazing gift I have been given! I'll begin with a post from someone on facebook. Can't think exactly what it said word for word, but basically it was a woman who was sick of the mom world and talking to other people about being a mom constantly, blah blah. Now while I understand she was probably frustrated at something, it was just an odd post. But having read it, I couldn't get it out of my mind. Now if you know me pretty well before I became a mom, you might have thought the facebook post came from me. However, motherhood has changed me like I could have never imagined. My whole life, every waking moment revolves around Jaxson, and I love every minute of it! Now don't get me wrong, I would love a babysitter over here in Greece so I could go out with my husband and have a nice quiet dinner, have some drinks, maybe go out to a club! But even when I do go out without Jax, my mind is on him. When people ask me about him or want to talk about him I absolutely love it. I love how much joy Jax has brought to Patrick and my life and how he has completed our family!
Which brings me to the second thing that I haven't been able to get out of my head. September 30th marked 30 years that China has had their 1 child per family law in effect, mandating abortions to any woman who is pregnant with their second child. In the article I read, a woman and her husband came up with enough money to pay the government so they could have a second child. Well everything was fine until her 8th month the government cracked down and revoked the agreement, forcing her to have an abortion. Reading this article sickened me, literally, I felt nauseated. Disgust, sadness and anger took over me. This Chinese woman stated that after her uterus was injected she could feel her baby struggle inside her and then nothing. Tears came to my eyes as I thought about what the Chinese government does to these poor women and unborn children.
Something needs to be done, this is murder! Please sign the petition addressed to president Obama on allgirlsallowed.org, which is an organization dedicated to raising awareness.
I signed the petition, please do the same.
