This is not fair.

Before we get any more worried about it though, these things happen, they're warning signs not death sentences.  Better news is often just - around - the - corner. 

So then someone tell me why it is that hundreds of thousands of (I'm sure sweet and well meaning) teens get pregnant each year (733,010 in the US in 2008 alone) and so many perfectly capable (and sweet and well suited) grown-ups who desperately want and are ready for a baby just can't seem to get there.  I can't put this disappointment and frustration and heartbreak into words on this page, there are not words strong enough or painful enough.  Too often I've seen much time, effort, sacrifice, and yes - money go into hard earned pregnancies with parents that want nothing more in this world than to raise a strong, smart, joyful kids, only to have it all washed away in one moment of terrible news.  The ultimate definition of unfair.

But today, today we're remaining positive and hopeful.  Only the best and warmest thoughts and wishes (and prayers, if that's your thing).  Here's to looking around that corner and finding nothing but sunshine, and healthy baby coos, and a long life lived learning all of the world's wackiest details from surely one of the best mothers-to-be of all time.
