There is nothing like seeing a glowing, radiant expectant Mom with a cute, preggo belly and then hearing that her due date is what yours would have been. I have intentionally made myself forget what week I would have been to keep myself from constantly thinking, "What if....?" However, I don't think I will ever be able to forget the due date.

I'm sorry...I can't imagine...
Hey Jessica,
I'm guessing it may be me that you are referring to.. & I am so sorry to be a reminder of pain. I never thought I'd be able to get pregnant and finally accepted that our family just wasn't meant to grow that way and then Bam! it happened.. kind of like you :) I waited so long to share publicly b/c I know that our blessing will bring pain to so many women who deal with infertility or have gone through a recent miscarriage and I hate knowing that I inspire those feelings. Part of me feels guilty that God chose to bless us this way when so many of my friends continue to struggle & we just brought home our first son only 8 short months ago.. and part of me is humbly & joyfully trying to accept His gift - frankly, the guilt comes easier for me.. ahh, He continually has a project in me :)
Again, my heart breaks for you and others.. love flowing across the bandwidth,
VA
