3 Months Since Birth and Counting

I thought I would post a recent photo of my son.  He is so adorable!!  I am so blessed!

My work as a fertility and childbirth educator involves lots of babies.  As I wrote about earlier, my son's pregnancy was complicated with pre-eclampsia and I am now at a pretty high risk of it occurring again, a complication that seriously endangers both me and any future children.  I have been wondering how it will feel to help other women through these amazing experiences after my fertility returns, since it is now dangerous for me to become pregnant. 

I so enjoyed giving labor support some weeks ago to a new friend I met through St Croix Birth & Parenting.  I was filled with joy!  This experience has given me hope that despite the very real sadness I feel at the probable loss of my own future biological children, the joy of seeing other new families "born" will be greater.
