I remember when I FINALLY became pregnant. The hubs and I had been trying for so long, or so it seemed, and we were ecstatic. I always knew that he was a boy. I just knew. Others tried to convince me otherwise but I was sure from the start that I was meant to be a part of something great.
Three years ago there was no name for it. Today there is. I am both excited and blessed to be a member of the MOB Society. I am honored to be a mother, but especially the mother of a boy. I give thanks to Him for blessing me with an awesome husband and an awesome son. I’ll admit, I don’t always know all the answers,but there are some things I know…
As mothers, we are all blessed with awesome opportunities and responsibilities. Although, I sometimes glance briefly longingly at pink bows and ruffles, I know. I know that I was meant to be the mother to a boy, this boy. And a wife to this man. I was born to be David’s wife and Aiden’s Mama. There is no doubt, I know.
I was born to carefully oversee a daily regimen of dialysis, injections and medications. I was born to carry the immense heartaches and immeasurable joys that come with being a mom, a mom of a boy and a special needs mom. I know it. It’s no accident, no random luck of the draw.
So while I pray for a cure, a kidney transplant and sustained health, I also pray for the wisdom to instill values, faith, hope and love. I am blessed to be a mother. I am doubly blessed to be the mother of a boy–and a member of this awesome group–a member of the MOB Society.

So beautifully written. I found you a week ago on Twitter, and have been praying for your sweet Aiden daily ever since. God chose you over all women to be his mother. You are right, none of it was random or accidental. I am praying for your strength as you deal daily with his medical situation. I’m also a mom to a boy, Nathan. My precious son lives in Heaven. Four weeks from today will be the 1 year anniversary of his going to be with Jesus. It’s so very hard to imagine it’s been 11 months now. I too knew in my heart from the moment I found out that I was expecting that my sweet baby was a boy. May God bless and comfort you and your family.
Thank you so much for responding Bethany. I am so blessed to know you and your story. I pray that God continues to comfort you and that one day you and Nathan will play again together in Heaven. I cannot imagine the strength you’ve had to have, mama. Hugs to you.
