You had me crying from the start and still am. <br />I do pray for you often and know God has more babies in store that will be delievered healthy! <br />Some Bible verses to look up and quote daily (as I did when it took almost 5 years to get prego and we did it with our Faith and no meds!) Exodus 23:26 AMP, Gen 25:21 (for the hubby), Ex 23:25, II Tim 1:7, Is. 66:9, I Tim 2:15, Ps 113:9, I Sam 1:27-28. I know it seems like a lot, but oh so worth it! <br /><br />God is good all the time and Satan would love nothing more than for us to give up when trials come, but we have God who makes us stronger and lets us even make lifelong friends from our trials. So we can say, "Ha ha, devil, your plan didn't work and I am stronger now than ever." <br /><br />Love ya girl, <br />AshleyAshley R Sellershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03103096774960537749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5659002609114323697.post-75648031036991986772009-07-05T00:27:12.650-04:002009-07-05T00:27:12.650-04:00That is so wonderful.
I have my own support group ...That is so wonderful.<br />I have my own support group of Internet friends from a different parenting website. And while I always enjoyed their friendship and loved all the advice and stories we swapped back and forth when we all had our first children (born in March 06), I never truly knew the depth of these friendships until my Benjamin was born in April 08 and we found out he has Down syndrome. Gifts came pouring in. But not your typical baby gifts. The kinds that are so heartfelt and wonderful you can't even believe this is someone you've never met. <br /><br />Flowers with a Pizza Hut gift card attached <br /><br />Books about Down syndrome on reserve at my local Barnes & Noble under my name<br /><br />Later, when B had to have open-heart surgery, they called our hotel and arranged for us to have an upgraded room so B would have a separate room for two nights while we were in Nashville for pre-op stuff.<br /><br />Countless things mailed to me that were so helpful: a Hotsling AND a Moby to carry him in, the perfect crib mobile that has been a lifesaver in both of his surgeries, lots of gift cards to restaurants.<br /><br />One of them even flew down to Chattanooga from Minneapolis to stay with me for a few days before she had her second baby just to get away.<br /><br />My real-life friends and my family are blown away that these are "Internet" friends. But seriously, these girls are my lifeline. I am closer to them than most of my friends IRL.<br /><br />I'm so glad you have your own set.

Sounds like you have an amazing connection of friends there. My favorite part of the post was "I wish that these relationships hadn't been forged in the fire of pregnancy loss. But I'd go through that heartache again if it meant gaining each of them." That speaks volumes of the depth of friendships. So special-<br />Hugs,<br />HillHillary @ The Other Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07001572958600385505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5659002609114323697.post-65999236555249364252009-07-02T14:44:56.729-04:002009-07-02T14:44:56.729-04:00We always come through for those in need.
