What's this about?

I am Shannon and my husband is Chris. This is a place to share and process struggles related to miscarriages, eating disorders, and Shannon's struggle with sexual abuse. We have found that joy, exempt of Christ, is often bittersweet in this life. We look forward to heaven where sweetness will abound and bitterness will be gone.

Wedding stuff

Well, some of you know that I was asked to be in my sister in law's wedding as matron of honor. I agreed. Then I got pregnant and with my eating disorder history...the dress became an adventure . Temptation kicked in. So I backed out. I consulted with 'wise people' before doing so and everyone was in agreement that I needed to back out.

I feel so relieved.

I am also so proud. I couldn't have said no and taken care of myself even six months ago. I credit J with helping me do that. She has really taught me how to take care of myself and that I am worth it. The people who love me will get that because they want me to take care of me.

It wasn't worth it to me to do something that could have hurt Sprout. So I am so glad to be able to say I made a decision that makes me a good mom.
