Molly just directed me to this post...thank you for expressing how I feel.

I...I'm so glad you voiced these thoughts, Liz. I, too, have so many friends who know - and have had the procedures to prove it - that they are DONE. I have four - three boys and a girl - and just lost my fifth to miscarriage. My constant obsession: was this a sign? Am I getting too old? Do I have enough love, life and work to go around here? <br /><br />Probably, yes. But it absolutely kills me to think that this is it.Jill VThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10785478886768730708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-455539757795238356.post-54647133908577702222009-11-12T20:23:09.375-06:002009-11-12T20:23:09.375-06:00I feel so similar.

Now, in reality- I know that isn't best for us as a family. However, it does go by so very quickly. Children force you to live in the moment. And oh, those moments are so very sweet.<br /><br />After all of our struggles to be parents, I can sympathize with your neighbor. Those anniversaries and the cruel way your mind remembers them aren't easy.<br /><br />All I can say, is that for now, I have decided that if the desire to be a parent (for me) would have been entirely human I would have stopped a long time ago and never seen my children's faces. If it were entirely a human desire, it would have been extinguished-because the fatigue and sorrow of it all are just too hard to bear without God. I think the desire to be a mother (for me) was given to me by God. It is the only way I could have ever survived all the trials, sorrow and losses ( 10 years )to get where I am now.<br /><br />I would never pretend to have it figured out for anyone else, but I know I would have never thought I would have three kids 3 years ago. I wouldn't have dreamed that big. But God did.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00884259749944614276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-455539757795238356.post-62016813663299470352009-11-12T18:22:36.696-06:002009-11-12T18:22:36.696-06:00Wow.

I will forever want babies in my house. I love, love, love newborns. So sorry for your friend "J". I've been there and it hurts.Brookenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-455539757795238356.post-17762890249237572202009-11-12T09:24:29.220-06:002009-11-12T09:24:29.220-06:00Thanks for your comment!!

I don't have any children of my own, I haven't even started trying yet, but I do look foward to the joy of children and can't imagine what your friend is going through.

To this day I still get those diaper and formula coupons in the mail and my baby would be 7 months. UGH! Unless people know my story, their is no way for them to know that I lost a baby early in my pregnancy. I don't have pictures of a baby belly, pictures of the baby, or a grave marker either. All I have is a picture of my first ultrasound that I carry in my wallet with me to this day. You can't tell by looking at me that my heart still wants that baby.<br /><br />I also don't know if I could ever make it 'final' as well. I think that would be such a hard decision for me to make.<br /><br />I will be thinking about your neighbor.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06981082337594834904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-455539757795238356.post-69161449151549139812009-11-11T22:04:37.304-06:002009-11-11T22:04:37.304-06:00You are truly blessed.
