Been gone from mylot for a long time. i missed this thing... I have been very busy with my life lately. Busy with my baby, that is. After 11 years of waiting to have a child of my own, at last God gave me one. I want to thank Him for this answered prayer. I gave up a lot for this, but it's so worth it. I experienced a lot of difficulties in dealing with motherhood, but thank God, I went through it with the help of my loved ones around me. Miracles do happen. Pray, believe and keep the faith. Have a nice day and it's good to be back here in mylot.

Hello. Being a mother is indeed a very difficult job. But yes, it is very fulfilling. When I first saw my baby, it was the happiest moment in my life. Thank youdanix1982.

Hi! Being able to give birth after 11 years is indeed a wonderful miracle! I am happy for you because I know how it felt to wait. I know exactly how it is to be married for more than 10 years and get frustrated over and over. I've been married for 19 years already. We still don't have a child. The people around me believe I have given up. I wanted to but deep inside of me, I am still hoping and crying for a miracle. As a consolation, I consider myself very special to God that He chose me to be recipient of this trial. I have many questions but I don't want to question God ever again. It's difficult for me to write this, in fact, I am already crying again while doing this, but I believe that through the years, I have become stronger and am able to comfort those who have this same experience. You are so blessed that you are now enjoying the gifts of motherhood.

Thank you very much for responding to this discussion Adval2013. But, sorry this made you cry. I undestand fully how you feel. I've been there. There's always a reason for everything that's happening in our life. Just keep on hoping and praying and in time He'll give what's best for you. Continue to be strong and don't cease in comforting others.

Yes, there are times when family or other things in life have to come first. And since this for you is a child, this is important and a good reason to thank and praise god for. Welcome back and wishing you the best.

djoyce welcome back! You really have been away for long and glad to hear of the good news. So you have a child finally. God is really good. He fulfilled the desire of your heart so I understand the joy you are now experiencing. I do believe that miracles happen. In fact it happens every day, we just have to open our eyes. A child is a gift from God so you should really take care of your baby. So congratulations for being a Mom...after 11 years finally! An answered prayer... a miracle, a gift from God... whatever or however, one thing is certain...God hears and answers prayers. God is good all the time. God bless your son and your whole family!

Welcome back and so happy about your new baby. Motherhood is the hardest job there is in the world. Take each day one at a time live in the moment and enjoy the tender times with your baby. They grow up so fast I have seen it with my two girls and now I'm seeing it with my grandkids. The years go by and you can't understand where the time went. Blessings always!

Welcome back! I hope you will still find time to be active here even if you are busy with your baby. I've only been here for a year myself, so I don't believe we crossed path before.

Hello sishy. Thanks. I'll find time for mylot if I can. It's good that you came here in mylot. It's a beautiful space on the net where you can find new friends. I have been here for i guess 6 years already and missed my good old mylot friends. Good day to you.
