Long story short, we lost our daughter, Lily, at 23 weeks in August 2008. We had our son, Cooper, in November 2009 but I also had a hysterectomy that same day due to complications. It was an extremely high-risk pregnancy and to be honest, I wouldn't have attempted another pregnancy even if I had been able to keep my uterus. My body just wasn't made for carrying babies. <br />We discussed surrogacy and adoption. We even went to 2 adoption agencies but something just never felt right. I prayed for direction and peace continuously. For us, we've made the decision to not have any more children. We have no doubt and total peace with our decision. Other people have issues with our decision which is funny to me...<br />Anyways, I say all that to say that it's a process. God's plan and answer to your prayers about when or if to have another baby could be totally different than how our prayers were answered. I think you're wise to go with your gut and not rush into a plan. <br />Prayers! I hope you have a lovely Christmas with your Sugar :) Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02695243793883254621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4616336279684201068.post-11314157044150164182013-10-06T17:16:07.617-07:002013-10-06T17:16:07.617-07:00Just saw this post Demi...I love when you write.

Thank you for opening my eyes to the realities of it! I'm sorry that you had to deal with so many people offering to be your surrogate. How awkward and unhelpful. I've only ever had one person offer, but it was my mother-in-law...how weird is that?!? Ugh.<br /><br />I am so sorry for your miscarriages and your failed adoption. Oh how painful! I can't imagine how betrayed you felt by that woman. I so hope that she is stopped soon so that she can no longer break the hearts of emotionally vulnerable couples. <br /><br />What great practical ideas at the end of your post. Thank you for being such a strong voice for infertility awareness. My prayer for you is that God will turn your heartbreak into a joyful heart song, that He will give you immeasurably more than you can ask or imagine.Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15069220262683215373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4616336279684201068.post-86658489082859395652013-04-29T16:15:13.112-07:002013-04-29T16:15:13.112-07:00Beautiful!!!!Beautiful!!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16908906433794199577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4616336279684201068.post-6798107752492919172013-04-24T06:21:22.972-07:002013-04-24T06:21:22.972-07:00What a great post!!

But you know what, I don't think I could call it masochistic behavior to want to still love on babies, even though it is so painful... it's just too powerful an urge because you are meant to be a mother and love and be loved by children. You can't fight it... even if it just kills you. Ugh, it's hard. =( You always make me smile with your love and devotion to Cala. Always so proud of you. =) Meryl & Russell McLendonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09377172483463942224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4616336279684201068.post-25836331971497652052013-04-22T12:07:12.226-07:002013-04-22T12:07:12.226-07:00Deni, you truely have a way with words that makes ...Deni, you truely have a way with words that makes me a little jealous!

My dad ran it a few years back and he had his jacket on today... so surreal... I think of how many marathons my brother, mom and I went to to watch him cross that finish line. My heart just breaks. I have no idea why people do such things, but the good people have a way to shine through for me... the helpers... the ones giving blood... the ones praying... and the ones wearing their shirts and jackets today to show solidarity. Goes to show that no one ever goes it alone no matter what the tragedy!

After 9 years of TTC we were shocked to discover ourselves pg on 12/31. At 9 w 5 d we went for an ultrasound and found no heartbeat. Our joy at the surprise turned to sadness and I find after the miscarriage I melt into tears at something slight sometimes. I think the loss is always with you no matter what other miracles have landed. I am already worried about how I'll feel on what would have been the due date in August! Hang in there and know it's ok to feel the loss and sadness from infertility....it does not go away because you have children!!Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04682770957105306831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4616336279684201068.post-40470156993379541942013-03-20T20:19:07.563-07:002013-03-20T20:19:07.563-07:00Totally understanding you and sending (((hugs)))
