make me SAD. It's sad to face reality and know that Miranda may never be a big sister. She may never get the chance to help mommy feed a baby, hold a baby, play with a baby and have that chance to be a sister. She may never have the chance to be a sibling. Or get the chance to make wonderful memories, laugh, get into trouble, play, and all the other great things that go along with having a brother or sister. Time is not on my side and neither are statistics. Seeing the GYN the other day really made me realize that it might not ever happen. I might not have another baby. Yes, it is possible but the chances are very slim. Talking with the dr. the other day, he pointed out that I really didn't have 4 miscarriages, I really had 9. And that hurt, and stung, and made me really sad. I had 3 losses before Miranda, 1 loss after and the 5 embryo's we lost because they were unbalanced when we tried IVF 2 years ago. If you look at my statistics, we had Miranda with a 25% chance of having a child. She is a TRUE miracle and we are BLESSED. But, it doesn't take away the hunger for another baby. Another child to carry, nuture and raise. And now seeing that my odds have dwindled down to a 10% chance. I've left it in God's hands. And I know ALL things are possible with GOD. And if GOD wants us to have another child it will happen. But, for now, I'm still sad.
