A little background info....

I have been dealing with medical issues regarding my reproduction capability for the last three and a half years after a very bad miscarriage situation. As I was working through a difficult period one day I realized that more and more people and characters around me seem to be dealing with similar circumstances. TV shows, movies, neighbors and friends are struggling because they cannot or may not have children. This is a place to express my feelings about my situation and hopefully help someone else express theirs.

I may not know what other mothers know, but I am a mother without my child and I do what I can to cope.

A Lighter List

I thought I would balance out my sad and depressing list from last time with a happier one.

Kids I may/will have in my life if I don't have my own.....

  • nieces and nephews (if our brothers have children)
  • younger cousins (I have 2 cousins still in the single digits right now)
  • our friends' kids  (the ones I know already always give me a smile)
  • any future friends' kids (we're still young I'll bet there will be more)
  • foster children (if we decided to do that)
  • kids in need (any children we volunteer with at hospitals or organizations designed for those kind of relationships)
  • 2nd cousins (I haven't actually met them yet but their facebook pics are soooo cute!)
  • 2nd cousins to come (we have several cousins around our age that may have children someday)
  • blog kids (I follow a blog about a working mother with the most adorable children)
  • random silly children we smile at in stores or restaurants (I still giggle at the toddlers that stand up in the seat and babble to you)

I think that's a pretty nice list.
