thanks for visiting my blog. your comment was so sweet. i enjoyed reading your "profile" and am so saddened about all your loses. However, that little boy of yours if just too cute and I'm sure he brings you more joy than you ever thought possible. I will pray that the Lord will soon bless you with his siblings.

Hi Monica! Thanks for visiting my blog! I didn't read your whole story, but I had several miscarriages too, before I had my oldest.
I didn't see anyone answer you about strikethrough...put < s > in front of the word(s) and < /s > immediately after (use no spaces, I just had to put spaces in there so it didn't confuse the computer)
