I mean...I don't think I would be doing as well as I am if Lilly had been born alive, and then died shortly thereafter. There are so many "ifs" that would have absolutely destroyed me. I just know it.
But here we are...Clif and I are alive and healthy. God gave us a beautiful little girl, even though it was only for a few short months. We are thankful, we are blessed beyond measure. And if God allows, our family will grow in one way or another.
I have read so many stories of other women who have gone through similar tragedies. Some of them, much "worse" than my own. I have read of women who have lost their babies early in pregnancy, late in pregnancy, and just kept on trying. Many have lost multiple babies, and are still pressing on!! These women are SO strong... very amazing women. And such an inspiration to me!! I've made several "blog gal pal's"... and I am so happy that I have.
Thanks to all of you that read my blog, thank you for reading...praying...and for encouraging me in my time of pain. Y'all are the best!!!!
We are on the journey of TTC again...not really trying hard, but trying just the same. I don't want to wait...I think I will become to freaked out by it all, afraid that I will lost another baby. But I have faith...faith in my God...faith that He will bless us in HIS time.
God bless you all. I'll leave you with a saying that I saw on someone elses blog (yes I stole it... lol and I don't remember who from, so if you're reading this...thanks!!)

Have you ever heard that thing where if people had to chose what to go through they would pick their own? It's something I remember reading about but I can't remember it very clearly. Other people's tragedies seem worse than our own and we don't think that we could deal with what they went through.
I'm glad you are making new bloggy friends. They are all really great!!

Desi.... I really do look up to you and admire(i dont like that word but I can't think of the one I want) how you handle everything thats been thrown your way.... From bedrest to Lilly's graduation to some peoples reactions... T and R...(to be specific) and sooo much more. I know that you are relying heavily on God but I also know that He gave you the core strength to get through this... yes even the days where it seems that you absolutly can't go any further. I love you my desilove. Thank you for being you. Thank you too for being my only blog follower ;-) you are the BEST!
