It's huge. You broke out of the cycle. You should be extremely proud that what was done to you did not change you.<br /><br />This summer, it was needed by all of you and I am willing to bet you have created some amazing memories. From the sorrow there is is joy.<br /><br />big hugs to you!

O'well. It happens.<br /><br />I am so excited for you to be having another baby here very soon. I know it will happen for you because you deserve it.<br /><br />After I had Logan I was scared to death to have another baby & well I was in too much of a mess to even think about having one. Once I got past all that & finally got pregnant with my daughter & knew she was healthy it was the greatest feeling in the world.<br /><br />I knew then Logan would want me to be happy & have another child. He didn't want me to keep thinking I would be replacing him if I had another baby. Having my daughter helped to heal my heart so much. Of course there is still this giant hole left by losing Logan, but Chloe helped to fill it some & days are nearly as hard as they used to be.<br /><br />((hugs)) to you sweetie.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00578525668538181284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5068737629915702103.post-12593912261379894782009-08-12T10:11:14.392-07:002009-08-12T10:11:14.392-07:00You are an outstanding Mom and know just what your...You are an outstanding Mom and know just what your kids need. I'm so sad for your loss and so excited to hear the sound of hope in your post. I am hopeful and excited and anxious for you! I can't wait to share the joy of your next pregnancy. <br /><br />For the record, I dislike the end of summer too. I love my big baby being at home with endless amounts of time on our hands. Some days are longer than other LOL but overall I love the endless days and dread the grind of Fall!!Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18132650070996872540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5068737629915702103.post-33945894686492059832009-08-12T04:50:08.300-07:002009-08-12T04:50:08.300-07:00Oh, Misty, it has been so long since I have been b...Oh, Misty, it has been so long since I have been blogging.

Reading about all your fun summer actitives inspired me to do the same and I think the girls really needed that, instead of me being a grump because the house isn't clean. Thank you for that wonderful example. I LOVE YOU to death and know you will have the joy of another baby in your arms sooner than you think. You are such an amazing mom and have so much faith. I'm so glad we are friends. <br />Love, AngieThompson familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04368513693201483823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5068737629915702103.post-3702972096996946622009-08-11T18:29:04.977-07:002009-08-11T18:29:04.977-07:00I'm glad that you have something to look forwa...I'm glad that you have something to look forward to.

The joy of Summer, the sadness that our kids are growing, the hope for another baby. While our lives are full of unimaginable sadness, they are also full of joy. I know that God wants us to be able to rejoice in that joy even when we are grieving our son's. <br /><br />I'm STILL (16 months) trying to get pregnant. I don't know why God keeps saying no but I too feel like there is this amazing joy that comes from another life just around the corner. <br /><br />This post is really good. It reflects your struggles but your healing really shines through. I can see your progress. You are doing good.<br /><br />Love,<br />TrishaTrisha Larsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02426915708825675793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5068737629915702103.post-3105367192369910372009-08-11T06:54:46.804-07:002009-08-11T06:54:46.804-07:00I count down the days until the summer begins.

It is ALL the difference and you and your children are blessed because of it and all the generations to follow will not know how very much they owe you for righting the wrong, for choosing the better way. You inspire me, you remind me and help me to be better. In my opinion (or wishful thinking) your Isaac may be in heaven hanging with your next child, bonding, getting to know each other having there own summer together.Pokeyannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06070568913382611433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5068737629915702103.post-5567638868130049122009-08-11T05:40:46.069-07:002009-08-11T05:40:46.069-07:00I can tell by your gentle words on your posts that...I can tell by your gentle words on your posts that you are a loving and nurturing mother.<br /><br />Since Blake passed away I also feel like my patience runs thin with my girls. I get so sad and frustrated with myself when I get like this. The grief just takes over sometimes. When I had to go back to work a few weeks ago after being off for those 5 months after Blake passed away, I would look back at what we did during that time and wonder if I made the most of our time together. I'm not so sure that I did. And that makes me sad.<br /><br />Take care!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03003240477157307248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5068737629915702103.post-28134912304367955812009-08-11T05:00:31.535-07:002009-08-11T05:00:31.535-07:00You are a wonderful mother and dont ever let anyon...You are a wonderful mother and dont ever let anyone tell you otherwise!! Sounds like you have had a great summer and just the part of doing what you want and letting all the other stuff go is bliss. Looking back that is the only regret that I have. But, I cant change it and my girls turned out to be great women and mothers.<br />I just know God will do fantastic things for you and your family.
