More babies

Today is a hard day for me. Today is one of those days when I should just shut off the computer and not read any of it. Some days I just hurt when I see other moms having their second or third baby since I have had Ella. I wish with all my heart that I could be there too. That I could be on my second or third baby by birth. I wish that even with a history of PPD, I could be afforded that opportunity. If I think back though, there is no way on earth that I could have managed another pregnancy, let alone a birth even in the last 1-2 years. I know it was not possible. That does not mean though that it does not hurt or grieve me. It does - alot.

It just hurts today. Plain and simple.

Today, another baby is being born to someone I know. While I am so happy for her, honestly and truly, it hurts me deeply. It hurts me to see moms who can do it when deep down, I wish it was me.

Love you Amy. I'm so sorry that you're suffering and that life hurts bad right now. You know it already, but I'm gonna say it anyway-it's okay to grieve over what can't be. It's okay to hurt and be sad. It IS a hard painfilled thing. You are brave and stronger than you think you are. You have a steadfast heart toward your Lord and you continue to walk the path that leads to Him eventhough it's filled with darkness and pain. I cheer you on and love you, and wish with all my heart I could take and carry it for you.

I know the pain is there and the sadness. But maybe when you hold your adopted little one in the near future, some of the sorrow will melt away.

I know how you feel. I may have another some day but I am jealous of the other moms who do so easily
