Peter and I love each other, have a nice home, have good jobs (well, he does now that I'm a homemaker). Why cant it be easy for people like us when it can be so easy for others who dont even want kids?<br /><br />I know God has a plan but it is still hard. <br /><br />Praying and hoping for you...Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17681333723382119281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163203822642488592.post-66493508521814960462009-11-24T15:42:40.269-05:002009-11-24T15:42:40.269-05:00Lots of hugs!!!

I pray you will be blessed with a healthy baby. I am right there with you with your fears.

Most people challenged by trivial issues don't attempt to learn and grow and serve from them-- some because they can't, but millions because they simply don't want to. <br /><br />Give yourself more credit for who you are becoming and what you are doing for others. Don't allow yourself to fall back. Break through those boulders. You're strong.Debhttp://www.deborahsteinberg.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163203822642488592.post-81763098128035598352009-11-24T11:06:42.126-05:002009-11-24T11:06:42.126-05:00Oh... My heart breaks for you this morning. Thank...Oh... My heart breaks for you this morning. Thank you for visiting with me today - and for your sweet words of encouragement about my soldier son... <br />And yes, we both know that only a mother who has worn our shoes knows how we feel...<br /><br />I too lost two babies by miscarriage. Now, my oldest daughter has lost her first. Today she is pregnant again and we are praying. So, I do know that loss. <br /><br />However, I cannot even imagine the loss that you have also experienced. I am praying for you now. That the God of all peace and comfort will wrap his loving arms around you - especially during this holiday time. <br /><br />But also, I will join with the others around you - to pray for the Giver of Life - to do just that. <br /><br />Do not have answers. But I know the One who does - and will be praying with you.<br /><br />Sweet Blessings (and prayers) to you<br />DeeDeeDeeDeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11269559132137311315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163203822642488592.post-58064892251833911232009-11-24T00:16:27.588-05:002009-11-24T00:16:27.588-05:00Life surely sucks!!Life surely sucks!!Akul's mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02731802741502891348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163203822642488592.post-19678414425028320672009-11-23T06:25:11.122-05:002009-11-23T06:25:11.122-05:00Aways a Mama,

Getting out into public places while we were trying to adopt and TTC unsuccessfully w/our surrogate was AGONY. <br /><br />I turned to the 'net and hardly left the house so I would not confront families. I wanted to throw up going to the grocery store, Walmart and Target.<br /><br />I so understand the pain.<br /><br />The gatherings w/kids. The friends and family who are celebrating new pregnancies and kids.<br /><br />You know where to turn if you consider the surrogacy route. <br /><br />Hugs Always a Mama...<br /><br />from the old Mama.Half of a Duo, Raising a Duohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14967844567225960467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163203822642488592.post-33862298743945736602009-11-22T23:06:38.425-05:002009-11-22T23:06:38.425-05:00I wish I had the right words for you, but I just c...I wish I had the right words for you, but I just cant seem to find them.

I don't think it will ever happen. Peyton will always be your daughter, your firstborn, your love just as Calvin will always be my son. No amount of time or healing will remove their memories or the love we have for them. I am finally being able to start letting go of some of the pain. Slowly. I don't want to spend my life in mourning for it will not return my son. I think the foundation in Peyton's name and continuing to honour her memory will keep her alive in your heart forever. You won't lose your baby girl by living your life, by starting to heal. I promise. She is probably smiling down from Heaven and nodding and wishing her mama all the happiness in the world. <br /><br />As for your struggles with SI, I too have been there so I understand your fears completely. For some reason though, and I've said it before, I don't think you are meant to be without a child. My heart tells me this. I do have an interesting bit to tell you about childhood cancer if you'd like to email me. You may already have this information but Canadian guidelines are changing for pregnant women because of this...Please, if you wish, contact me at shaneandmargaret1@hotmail.com <br />Sending you hugs...hope your spirits are better tomorrow.margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16494588299838654564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163203822642488592.post-56835250666860764262009-11-22T21:13:42.689-05:002009-11-22T21:13:42.689-05:00I am so sorry.

I have found that since losing Oliver I find great comfort in fighting back when doctors, their offices, and hospitals put up unnecessary roadblocks in my path. It is all I can do and I figure after what we have been through we deserve to be treated better. Sometimes I don't have the energy but Oliver always provides me just enough.JamieWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14615427195759873079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163203822642488592.post-26943877083307174912009-11-22T20:58:47.035-05:002009-11-22T20:58:47.035-05:00I'm right there with you.....just doesn't ...I'm right there with you.....just doesn't seem right.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07289549963275047672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163203822642488592.post-66368042844292242422009-11-22T20:56:49.626-05:002009-11-22T20:56:49.626-05:00Don't apologise.
