14 years ago, I got a Ph.D. and started into a fast paced career. Life was good… But when I wanted to start a family, nothing happened but miscarriages and countless other medical complications… Boy was it hard then. I wanted a child so bad. I was devastated after trying to get pregnant for years. After enduring doctors’ poking, prodding and endless tests, my daughters finally arrived.
My girls are in middle school now. I can tell you, life really heals from this stuff. There is such joy when you get there. You guys still in the trenches, you will cherish you little one(s) when they finally arrive. The journey is worth it once when you finally get to the other side. Hang in there.

Nobody ever said life was fair – there’s always going to be someone somewhere who’d rather not hear your good news, be it about engagements/pregnancy/new boyfriend/girlfriends/promotion at work/new job. It’s life, plain and simple. If we were to tiptoe around everyone when we got some good news, we’d probably end up celebrating alone! A good friend or family member will grin and bear it, and deal with their own emotions on their own time.

Regarding taking peoples thunder I would love to get pregnant the same month that my sister or sister in law got pregnant just for the fact that my kids will have cousins the same age and the women can support each other through every step of pregancy change experiences and ideas(when you decide to be a mom it is not about you anymore). I also think that yes you have to be concerned with others if a loved one has just had a miscarrige be considerate but do not stop trying because of it.

Thanks for the well wishes all. Sorry I haven’t been as active on here this year, but most of you know why. I’ll try to drop back in after we get back and give y’all an update! (Walked 1 mile today even with my legs screaming at me!Trying to find a relatively dog-less route!)

Jeff…best wishes to you guys.

Becky, thanks for the support….it has been a tough two months. We hope to be pregnant soon, but if not God will bless us with a family in the manner that is his will.
