I Manifested My Baby Girl.
Submitted by: Kim H
Qld, AustraliaI am a wife, mother, grandmother and lover of life, living it with all these special people that make my world beautiful.
I first came to know about The Secret when it first came out. Being a Christian, at that time I felt it challenged some of my beliefs, so it wasn’t something I got further into.
But as I sit here and reflect, more than 10 years later, I can see it has been at work in me many times over those years. I have gotten favor and promotion throughout my career, opportunities to travel, and the most amazing manifestation has been my baby girl, who is now 1 year old.
When I became a young mum at 18, and then again at 24 and 25, life was certainly busy in those early years. I was fully dedicated to working hard to raise our family. Those years have certainly passed by quickly though, with my children heading into their late teens and my oldest in his 20s.
I knew about a few of my friends and cousins that were trying for or having babies despite being older. I remember thinking how lovely that would be to have another baby and to be able to have some time away from work to spend those first few months dedicated to my baby. I hadn’t been on contraception for at least a year at that point so thought that it was really a pipe dream and didn’t think any more of it.
By then, my husband and I were at a stage in our lives where we had our own quality time outside of parenting life. We could go away for weekend getaways, go to concerts, go to dinner, and we were enjoying it!
However, I still had this strong desire for another baby, and would take pregnancy tests every time I was ‘late’. It was so bizarre because I felt pregnant! This went on for two years, so by then I thought I must be entering or in menopause.
In 2019 our world was blessed with the arrival of our first grandchild, and boy it was love at first sight! The absolute apple of our eye and loved by our whole family, with family flying in from overseas to meet this wee gem. I felt my baby fix was met and directed all my focus and attention towards spoiling my grandbaby.
Fast forward to 2020. By this time it had been 4 years of not taking any form of contraception. We were preparing to move house and I was really struggling to help with the big clean up. I was absolutely regretting not having hired a cleaning company. I was tired, and the smell of the cleaning products was so bad that I could not go back into the house for the final days of the clean up. And to make matters worse, our new house had a smell to it that was so overpowering it was making me nauseous.
When we headed out to pick up some food supplies, I pop a pregnancy test into the trolley, thinking jokingly, oh this could be morning sickness. Not long after we arrive home, I take the test and am utterly shocked to see two very dark lines appear. When I broke the news to my husband, he did not believe it and thought I was trying to prank him. He thought that it was a test our daughter had taken.
We decided to break the news to our children a few weeks later at my 42nd birthday lunch and their reactions were similar to his, shock, surprise, and happiness.
Fast forward to 2022. After spending the first 7 months raising my beautiful, healthy, baby girl, she is now a boisterous, energetic little person who soaks up everything like a sponge, has no fear, and brings so much joy to our lives. She is also besties with her now 3 year old nephew.
I thank God every day! I still have to pinch myself sometimes, as I can’t believe this little person, who was just a thought in my mind, became a reality and her timing was perfect.
