Z, Everytime I see her pics, I think of how perfect her features are! She's such a honey!! Happy 9-months!!

Nine months already... I just love the pigtails! I certainly hope she doesn't have cavities at this age. I thought babies that young could only get them if their parents were laying them down with apple juice bottles at night or something.

I wish there was a guarantee that you didn't have to go through any more pain to grow your family. I understand why you DO want to try again, and I hope with all of my heart that it is much easier this time... physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Hi! Just wanted to stop by and say hello. Your baby girl is sooo cute! I found you by way of Lerin. My name is Lety.

I couldn't let my baby get her ears pierced either! Thankfully, no one is here to out vote me. But it does look very cute, doesn't it? I hope that this time around, things are much easier for you. You deserve to be a mother again... I'd love it if you carried twins full-term. You are a wonderful mother, I know you could handle it with grace.

Wow... I'm so sorry for everything you are feeling right now. I don't think you are being unfair, just that you are being honest. You have every right to be angry at your dad for what he put your family through, and for him to spring that introduction on you was completely out of line. I'm glad you had Abel there to listen.

How funny... Sophie loved EVERYTHING and hated peaches... and so did Bella. It must be something about the baby peaches that no baby cares for!

Wow, that would be such wonderful and at the same time terrifying news. I hope that you find out soon either way, and are happy with the result. You know that I will be saying prayers for you and your beautiful family.

I don't think it's crazy at all that you feel the way you do. Completely normal, natural, mother's instinct... in an ideal situation, you WOULD be able to be home with her. But you logically know that you can't. Logic and emotions rarely align, even less so as a mom. And just because you know you HAVE to go to work, doesn't mean that your heart won't continue grieving it. It is wonderful that you can take consolation in the fact that Grandma is with her, and she isn't even having to leave the comfort of her home while Mommy works! :) Your mother sounds like Superwoman... babies at 3 months take so many naps, she probably has time to completely focus on Naima as well as the house! What a blessing for you, to come home and have nothing to do but love your baby girl. I'm happy that everything is working out so well, even if it isn't the "perfect" situation, where you could be home yourself.

I spent my weekend in bed with morning sickness, and I read your whole diary! Oh, how I cried with you. I don't think I could ever have been as strong as you were. Last year, my sister, my sis-in-law, and I all got pregnant at the same time. We were so excited to be sharing our pregnancies together, esp my sis-in-law, since she'd suffered for years with infertility. Then, they both lost their babies. Mine was the only one who made it. It was so devastating... I felt so horrible for them, for Isabella for losing two cousins, and I felt guilty. It was hard for either of them to talk to me much, and after reading you, I think I understand even better than I did then. I tried to lay low and offer space and compassion. I knew what NOT to say, but not what TO say. I think going through that is such an intense, private pain that no words can help. Anyway, both sisters were pregnant again AT THE SAME TIME and delivered healthy babies a day apart in May. I believe we have two little saints in Heaven now, watching out for their siblings, cousins, and family. ANyway, I just wanted to commend you for never giving up hope even in the darkest times, and for always loving and treasuring your Mia and two other lost angels. You are amazing! Naima is going to be surrounded in so much love... how wonderful for her, to know that her parents wanted her SO much.

Can't you still say no to the VP thing? It doesn't seem like a good time for you. I think you should- it's going to stress you out and you're already overloaded.

i agree with you about the schiavo case. it bothers me a lot that the husband's wishes are given preference over her parents'. doesn't make sense.

1st of all I want to say, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU BOTH! I've recently got back online after a year or so of not having it... and This is one of the first things i wanted to do... I dont blame you for distancing yourself, you have good reasons... but sweetie I just wanted to let you know... I'm hoping the BEST for you and Abel. *BESOS Y ABRAZOS, JOHN

Z, from what I've been reading over the last year or two, is that you and Abel are 2 wonderful loving and devoted people! There is nothing wrong with wanting it all. Why not think of adoption, there are so many children out there wanting and needing the love and dedication that you and Abel are willing to give. Perhaps think about an older child, that won't be a constant reminder of what you had and lost. Then after a bit of mending, perhaps God will grace you with a child or your own or have an infant in need of your love. My heart aches for you and I pray that your heart mends so that you can focus in on the love and not the pain.

Hi. I'm so sorry I haven't added you over here before now, it always seems to slip my mind. But I do check in when I go back to the old diary for something. I just wanted to say that I am so excited for you. And I know that your daughter is going to be amazing, and that you will be an amazing mother. I know it's hard not to be scared, but just remember that whenever you aren't sure what to do, that motherly instinct always kicks in helps out. I'll be praying for a speedy and healthy delivery for you. Good luck and bless you. - Kristina (formerly ladybuglily)

Don't worry about having a c-section and it delaying you from seeing Mia. I had c-sections with all my kids and Matty was down in the neo-intensive care unit. It will only motivate you to get up and start walking sooner, plus, they have wheelchairs for you to use in the beginning. =]
