Why are We Here?

 As mommies of angels we are in a unique position. Not only do we know the excitement and pure joy of pregnancy, but we know the tragedy. Some of us even know the pain of childbirth, only to have to bury our baby. Something no parent should ever have to do. Those facts that once were so obscure and would never happen to us-now we ARE those statistics.
We want to scream that it isn't fair-we should get to enjoy pregnancy-the beauty, the excitement, the innocence. We should get to enjoy those sweet moments when our new little one is seeing our face for the first time, learning to crawl, getting teeth, celebrating a birthday, going to school. Why were WE the ones who had to walk through fire? The truth is, I don't know. I don't have the magic answer or the cure.
What I do know is that while I wish that neither I or you had to go through these tragedies, they have made us who we are today.
We are here because we are survivors. We walked through that fire and we are stronger today then we were yesterday. We cherish the beauty of pregnancy even more-not taking for granted how much one tiny heartbeat means, we don't mind those painful kicks quite so much, and while being sick everyday still sucks, it relieves us that we get to be sick. We cherish the nights of little sleep even though it makes us grouchy, the clinginess of sick babies, the endless drool from never coming teeth, and the little voices that just never stop talking.
We are here because we can support each other and understand in ways that sometimes even our best friends can't. We are here to cry on each other's shoulders, to lift each other up, and have hope for each other when as an individual we just can't bring ourself to hope. We are here to pour out our fears, to scream with happiness at milestones, and to welcome our new precious miracles.
We are here because we care.
I want this to be a place where-if you are worried you aren't afraid to come and pour out that fear. Odds are some one else has been there, some one else has felt that way, and has just been too afraid to say it. I want this to be a place where we can't wait to come because we know that everyone else can't wait to hear our newest news.
I am honored to have the privilege to be your host-I celebrate your milestones with you and I cry with you when you hit those sad days and difficult times.
