IF and When
This morning I am thankful and scared. My sister got a positive pregnancy test. This is her first treatment cycle in a long, long time. And I am so excited and so *terrified* because last time she was pregnant, she did not get a take-home baby. I have always felt more strongly about my sister having children than me. I got her text this morning and burst into happy tears. And then I prayed "God please please please PLEASE let this one stick!". I honestly think I could deal with living childless, if it came to that, if my sister had the brood she always wanted. Prayers and positive thoughts are welcome and appreciated, as always.

I sincerely hope that your sister has a very happy and healthy pregnancy. We have a fiend who struggled through many late term miscarriages before her son was born. I know how literally heartbreaking it can be. Keeping you and her in my thoughts and prayers!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteSending your sister (and you) positive, sticky thoughts!
ReplyDeleteYes, very sticky!!!
DeleteThis post just told me everything I'll ever need to know about you. You are such an amazing sister and you'll be there to hold her hand through the entire thing- no matter what happens. She is lucky to have you. And you her.
ReplyDeleteAwww, thank you! My sister has been mothering since she was 3 and my brother was born - it is her innate talent. And I make a fabulous aunt if I do say so myself ;-)
DeleteYou sound like an awesome sister. I hope it all goes well for her!
ReplyDeleteThank you :-) She's getting a blood test tomorrow and hopefully that will make her (and I) feel more secure.
DeleteWe're here cheering for her!!
ReplyDeleteWow, you are such a sweet, kind, and loving sister! Thanks for keeping us posted so she can be in our thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteShe's doing great so far, just pray for 9 more months of this! She's had enough IF and Loss heartache for a lifetime - time for good news!
