I work full time from home while trying to simultaneously raise our 1 year old boy. He's generally a very good sleeper but is teething and has cut some naps short lately. It always stresses me out so quickly, because I know he'll be grumpy and hard to entertain as I'm trying to work. <br /><br />During his afternoon nap, I took a quick work break and found your blog through Better After. I had just barely heard a noise from the baby monitor that made me think he might wake up early, and I was all tensed up. As I read these posts about your beautiful daughter, I felt so ashamed and blessed. Suddenly I wanted my son to wake up early, just so I could see him and hold him, and be so grateful that he's here. I felt so ashamed for wanting him to sleep, just so my life would be easier, so I wouldn't feel guilty about having to work while he was awake and playing by himself. <br /><br />Thank you so much for writing these. I can't imagine what you went through, I'm in awe of your strength. I know there will always be another time when I'll take my sweet boy for granted, but you've helped me to escape this time.Molly Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04882741884637266125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140696241655225229.post-52136497598207600712011-02-22T16:22:57.293-08:002011-02-22T16:22:57.293-08:00Oh my sweet, sweet friend.

So this is the first I've heard about your sweet angel.<br /><br />Honestly, I never know what to say in situations like this because I always wonder if it would be something I would like or hate to hear if it were to happen to me.<br /><br />You know I think you're grand, right? I'll be thinking of you much. I really will be.<br /><br />*hugs*Serene is my name, not my life!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02181359150279923307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140696241655225229.post-8018766585531435582011-02-21T19:32:40.379-08:002011-02-21T19:32:40.379-08:00I have been wondering if this is how you are reall...I have been wondering if this is how you are really doing.

I hope you know that if you need anyone who understands, please feel free to call me. I firmly believe that you absolutely need time to heal, lots of time. Because you are a good person, you are of course happy for others, and would never want anyone to know your pain, but its ok to need to heal. I can watch and hold babies and be happy and share others joy, but it has been over a year since we lost our boys and I still cant bring myself to go to a baby shower. Someday maybe. You will know when the time is right. In the mean time, its ok to take time for you. We love you and think about you often. We are here if you need anything.Stefanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13145511444456334803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140696241655225229.post-27678299454739243832011-02-20T20:29:30.176-08:002011-02-20T20:29:30.176-08:00i was talking to my mom the other day about all th...i was talking to my mom the other day about all the girl babies being born lately and the first one i thought of was your ella. her picture is just so sweet. you gave birth to perfection and she will never be anything less than that. amazing. i truly hope your insides and outsides can match up more often than not someday:)Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16581502467703510788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140696241655225229.post-67459179451722107022011-02-19T05:07:52.372-08:002011-02-19T05:07:52.372-08:00There's so much truth in this... thank you for...There's so much truth in this... thank you for sharing :).

I remember feeling that way after 3 miscarriages and still no Hannah. It was awful - and I know your grief is so much more than that. You got to hold your sweet girl in your arms, only to have to say goodbye a short time later. You are allowed to be sad - and you are allowed to avoid anything that makes you feel worse. That doesn't mean you are ungrateful, or that you aren't happy for others - you just need time. As much time as you need!Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11574465277220090160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140696241655225229.post-26781977158315021752011-02-17T08:25:33.080-08:002011-02-17T08:25:33.080-08:00Even though you are happy for others it is a bit l...Even though you are happy for others it is a bit like salt in the wound when you are constantly bombarded by the things you want most. You are precious Amy and have a wonderful understanding of the gospel and Heavenly Father's plan. We may not know the "why" of His plan we can know that God knows, and that has to be enough for now.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17582828509265052447noreply@blogger.com
