I heart feels your pain... There wa...Dear Amanda,<br /> I heart feels your pain... There was a time when I was told I would never have anymore children. I had an allergic reaction to birth control that sent my body into a spiral of "female problems" Yes, I had two daughters at that time... but I felt broken! No one understands. I actually switched to a female GYN so I could possibly get some sympathy since I wasnt getting any help otherwise.<br /> Not many people know that DJ was a twin... I lost the other baby somewhere between 12-20 weeks. They call it "disappearing twin syndome". Two babies in the ultrasound at 12 weeks... one baby at 20 weeks. Not a mirrored reflection/mishap of the equipment... but one baby head up & the other head down. I'm sharing this with you because I also know the pain of "comments" others make in their pitiful effort to help you cope. <br />"Aren't you glad your not having twins anymore?"<br />"Everything happens for a reason?"<br />"Probably for the best, sometimes twins have physical issues"<br />OMG!!!! The things people say...<br />What I will say to you is that I will pray for peace to come to your soul... Whatever God's plan for your future will come to pass... He doesn't always answer our prayers in our time frame, nor do we always get the answer we desire. But he loves us and he does want your heart to be in this state. His desire is not for you to feel "less of a woman".<br /><br />Jeremiah 29:11<br />"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."Cindynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8752757558876957759.post-9041148045730414682012-01-04T22:05:43.728-05:002012-01-04T22:05:43.728-05:00I say it again, you are the most honest and amazin...I say it again, you are the most honest and amazing woman.

My struggle was a whisper compared to yours, but I remember how it made me feel like I failed as a woman - on the most basic and primal level of life; that I couldn't even fulfill my gender's role, the whole purpose for existence. <br /><br />I was cringing today when someone posted comments on your FB status update about having faith, adopting, just relaxing and how her friend got pregnant. I just wanted to scream "shut up!" and post a link to your blog. Because you are finally giving people information about how to provide better support and not be insensitive asses. <br /><br />As usual, your blog and ability to express yourself so intensely and clearly amazes me. Thank you for sharing.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14131398331710810315noreply@blogger.com
