		<description>Wilbur and I are happy for you both and wish you a long and happy marriage. Also good luck on the house, every time we drove by we always said what a cute house it is, not even knowing that it was indirectly in your family.</description>

		<description>super duper mom that you are, it really irritates me to no end when another person thinks they know it all. that one lady needs her behind kicked for even saying what she said. i am with you all the way on potty training. my grand daughter was closer to 4 before she even tried. i thought that was way too old, but they know their own bodies so when she was ready, she was ready. if you push it, that means it is your decision, not theirs. thank you so much for sharing your feelings, keep doing what you are doing and listen to YOUR heart, you know your son, stick with it. you are wonderful mom, even though we have never &quot;met&quot; i know that in MY heart.</description>

		<description>Your feelings about Jonnie growing up are natural.  Mom&#039;s have a hard time watching their babies grow up!  Now you know what I meant by &quot;cherish every moment when they&#039;re babies!&quot;  But, instead of mourning your baby growing up, try to cherish THIS moment too!  And every single moment to come.  Let these precious times wash over you and enjoy every single moment.  Don&#039;t waste any wishing him a baby again.  Everytime he does something new is a celebration of him being a little man growing up with the best mommy he could have.  

Your drawings are beautiful.  Color is just a new medium for you to master.  And you will.  Look at it as a challenge and don&#039;t be discouraged.  You learn so fast!  It won&#039;t be long until you&#039;ve got it down pat.  

Love ya!
Mom</description>

		<description>Angie, I am so glad you are physically okay, but I am so sorry you had to go through this.  I have been there myself several times, one of them ending in a stillborn baby at eight months.  I understand that you are still learning how to cope with the idea that you had a baby that died, and that is completely normal.  When somehting like this happens you begin to understand just how fragile and complex  conception can be.  Although it is a natural inclination, one of the worst things you can do is blame yourself or think that this was caused by something you did wrong.  

Doctors estimate that about 50% of conception either fails to become a sustainable pregnancy or ends in miscarriage of some sort.  When you conceive and a baby is created, it takes half its genes from the sperm and half from the egg that ovulated that month. At the exact time of conception, the cross-over of these genes takes place. Sometimes, for no reason other than bad luck, some information is lost and the pregnancy is destined from that point not to be.  It might be that this lost information is not needed for many weeks, and the pregnancy will continue as normal until that time. When the needed information is not there, it is then that the baby dies.  Another cause might be that the baby did not implant, or bury itself, into the womb lining properly, or implants outside of the uterus either in a fallopian tube or the abdominal cavity- once again, just due to bad luck and certainly not because you did anything wrong.  The chances of something like this happening again, at least noticably, are very slim unless you have some underlying reproductive issues.  And since you already have a healthy child, and I am assuming this is the first time you have been through this, chances are you do not.

I will not try to minimize your grief by telling you that you are young and can have another.  Right now you are not thinking about another baby, you are thinking of the one your just lost, and wondering what he or she would have been like.  You a grieving that you do not get to see this one grow up, and you are mourning that loss.  That is perfectly okay, grief is a process each person has to go through in their own way in order to be emotionally healthy again.

You mentioned that you feel like you have let Scott down.  I am sure nothing could be further from the truth.  I had the same feelings for a while too, to the point it was affecting my relationship with my husband.  He is going through the same process you are right now, wondering if there is something he did wrong, and mourning in his own way too.  You have to remember, he knows that you are hurting in a way he cannot experience and he might be feeling like he does not know how to respond since he does not know just how you feel.  Most men are protectors by nature, and he may be feeling a little lost because this is something he cannot protect you from.  Once your hormones settle down a little, if you still feel like you have let him down, or if you think he feels like you have let him down, talk to him about it.  He might need you to come to him and tell him how you feel so he knows what to do to help you heal.

Angie, I cannot promise you that you will wake up one day and it will not hurt anymore, but I can promise you that you will wake up one day and it will hurt less.  I will keep both of you in my prayers, and if you need someone to talk to just let me know.</description>
