Just a few snap shots...

Just wanted to share a few recent snap shot's of the kiddo's...I don't usually share too much about them on here, as to not upset those reader who do not have children and try and keep my topics based on my recent situation...But I find myself feeling so very thankful for them....Being on this break gives me time to reflect, and has shown me they are also miracles...I thank God for the ease in which they came into this world...I never thought I would be one of those women who struggle to carry a pregnancy, and having had 3 term births, neither did any of my DR's...So I am forever grateful for them...And Just wanted to take a moment and share them with all of you...

This is my Step Daughter, Lindsay- age 10
This is My daughter, Hayden, age 10 who I had with my ex- in CA
This is Isaiah, age 6, who is My husband and mines, first biological child together...
This is Kaitlyn, age 3 ( in a couple weeks) who we had after the loss of Hannah...She is our "rainbow" baby.

Each one of these beautiful children teach me something new every day...They grow, and change so very fast, right before our eyes...They challenge us, and inspire us to be better parent's and people....
I am so thankful for them....
But still, after feeling all that JOY, and love...I can't help but feel sad, knowing we are missing another family member which then, leads me to think of all of our angels.....I know the time will come soon, and we will be blessed with just the right  child...But I just wish it could be SOON...For now, I focus on what I have in front of me, I am forever grateful... But my heart still longs for that 2nd rainbow to come....

What you should know if you are considering a tubal reversal

By
Its been 8 years. 8 years since we took a trip to NC to see DR. Montieth in Chapel Hill. I remember being so excited. I had this picture in my head of how it was going to go during, and after it all. For those of you who don't know, I had my tubes tied in 2009, after the birth of my 3rd, directly following a traumatic still birth. It was a decision made out of fear and trauma, not an informed decision. I ended up having adverse health issues (PTLS) after, and was desperate to find a solution. I stumbled upon a private chat room with others also struggling. Several had gone for a reversal, and seemed to feel so MUCH better after. I had already seen my doctor umpteen times, and they offered no solutions, and insinuated it was "in my head".... I saw all of these ladies posting the day OF surgery saying that they felt relief! I was like, "Yes, this is it!!"... So we saved the 6 Grand, and went and did the reversal. I was PUMPED. I started a blog, YouTube video and F

Some statistics on Miscarriage

By
Miscarriage Statistics Overall miscarriage risk is 17-22%; risk after gestational sac is visible is 12-15% Miscarriage is one of the most frequent problems in human pregnancy. The most widely accepted definition is that proposed by the World Health Organization in 1977. The incidence among clinical pregnancies  (a pregnancy that is confirmed by both high levels of hCG and ultrasound confirmation of a gestational sac)  is about 12-15%, but including early pregnancy losses it is 17-22%. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11950476 After heartbeat is detected, risk of miscarriage is 9.4% at 6wks; 4.2% at 7wks; 1.5% at 8wks; 0.5% at 9wks To estimate the risk of miscarriage among asymptomatic women after a prenatal visit between 6 and 11 weeks of gestation where proof of fetal viability of a singleton was obtained by office ultrasonography at the same visit. METHODS: Those recruited were 697 asymptomatic women who attended their first antenatal visit between 6 (+2 days) and 11(+

Trust & New Pajamas

By
So, a blog comment I got the other day from wonderful woman, and awesome supporter of mine, caused me to pause a bit, and kind of evaluate some things about my faith and relationship with God. Which I truly appreciate, because she was kind and not judgy in her words...And I felt God gently nudge my heart each time I read the comment over... I felt my face start to burn with emotion, as tears welled up in my eyes...And I finally admitted to myself... I do NOT trust God...At least not fully, like I once did... But I desperately WANT to be at that point again....Trusting fully...And filled with peace... I walked into this journey,  to try for one more, 100% SURE , God was calling us/giving us the desire  to have another baby...I/we were, 100% certain we would walk away with a baby in our arms...As a matter of fact, I would have bet my LIFE on it. Now, 3 years later, I am broken, weary, and so utterly soul shattered, that I simply cannot "look" God in the eyes...H
