Your post was beautiful J! I understand...Hey you! Your post was beautiful J! I understand completely, I spent many years wondering the very same things, what if.....what could I have done...etc...etc...etc...always very happy for anyone to make it to full term, but all the while wondering why my body was so incapable. The day after Soph the docs told me I should never have anymore, several times. And I wholeheartedly agreed! I emphatically spent the next few years certain that I was done. Even the last year. But the one thing that kept nagging at me, was that I didn't want anyone taking the opportunity of more children away from me, even me! Their care of me was so inadequate, my physicians had no right saying that! So here I am today, pregnant with number 3! A place, for many reasons I never thought I would be. It took so much for me to get to the point I would even consider it and finding the right doctors and running the right tests was key, BUT that doesn't change that I don't know if this will end up the same, still, I'm thrilled and I am just hoping and praying with all that is in me that it will, but knowing that those thoughts linger in the back of my mind. You are a terrific, beautiful, incredible woman Jen! Just don't forget you are human, you still grieve the loss, because that's exactly what this is - it's like a bird who can't sing, or an apple tree who produces no fruit, it goes against nature to think a woman can't carry to term. But at the same time, that bird is still a sight when it flies and that tree still provides shelter! You, my dear, are no different - you are absolutely perfect - exactly as you are!5onfaithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04065735317849982427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506441559972881949.post-16841945120171054332009-07-17T04:49:18.323-07:002009-07-17T04:49:18.323-07:00Darling girl many many hugs

That's exactly...((((hugs)))) girl, and thanks. That's exactly it, "could that be me?" or "should that have been me?" if I'd done things differently before getting pg the second time, or during the pg. :( Anyway, you're right about it all, and I appreciate the comment.Lowcountry Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03620087946824229917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506441559972881949.post-34230040540706107892009-07-16T17:55:05.049-07:002009-07-16T17:55:05.049-07:00(((((Jen))))) I've sat here thinking and thin...(((((Jen))))) I've sat here thinking and thinking of what to say and I've got nothing. I want to say I understand because in many ways I do....I had preeclampsia both times..but made it to term both times, only nothing short of a miracle with Hunter..spending 13 weeks on bedrest. When it happened with Dalton it was like a sign that I wasn't supposed to keep having babies. It's hard because as a woman having babies should be easy...it shouldn't be so worry filled and stressful. I'm so happy for all of our girls that are having babies and not being sick..and the smallest part of me wonders could that be me? But sadly, I think we both know the answer to that. Anyway, just know I love ya and am thinking of you.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14074861297420475352noreply@blogger.com
