Like you, I had some health issues that I wanted to clear up before I got pregnant with our rainbow baby just to remove any shadow of doubt from my mind. The good news is that while my pregnancy was lousy just like the rest of them, Katie was my healthiest kid on ultrasound. As a result of making healthy life style changes before I got pregnant with her, I have found it easy to maintain those habits and feel better now than ever. Good luck to you! (And FWIW, I do not believe for one second that your weight influenced her kidney issues. I have many other Potter's mommy friends that all care deeply about their babies, don't do anything harmful during pregnancy, etc. - it just simply happens. God chooses special families to send these babies to.)Nurse Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05701919857269926765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3982592233003589044.post-30058138518857903562010-02-18T10:35:52.112-06:002010-02-18T10:35:52.112-06:00Hey you two,
It is so hard to face all those quest...Hey you two,<br />It is so hard to face all those questions and "what ifs". Your mind will play tricks and the blame game starts all over again. I too hated that nosey question!! Why in the world do people think that we lose a child and it's just forgotten so move on? I really had to pray myself through some of those questions. I also had to remember that "most" people have a good heart when asking and in no way mean to harm you. I think you will know when it is time and it may be later this year or in 5 but you will know. I want you to also know that God will give you peace about that decision if you will just ask. What great parents you are and will be to a future child. Hang onto your hope for better tomorrows! David and I pray, think about, and love both of you dearly and will forever feel a connection that only the ones of us that held those special angels will know!Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02470529963854928034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3982592233003589044.post-62949071777287680032010-02-16T22:03:11.304-06:002010-02-16T22:03:11.304-06:00We have never me but I have kept up with your stor...We have never me but I have kept up with your story. I know it is easier said than done, but you cannot beat yourself up. I have not been in your shoes, so I cannot imagine what your going through. I think you should continue the blog. Your story inspires people and sadly it reminds others to appreciate the children they have. I have friends that have been through difficult pregnancies and they are all different. Some ended in loss and others have been able to celebrate birthdays & holidays with their children. God will guide you in your journey just as he has done up to this point. I have a plaque above the mantel on my fireplace. I read it several times every day.
