When will you have a second child?
You don’t want to wait too long.
You’re turning 35 this year? Is that advanced maternal age?
You had a baby already…. so easily…why is it hard now?
Appointments…specialists…take this medicine….let’s draw some labs….endoscopies….there is
inflammation…we have concerns….stillbirth risk…..frequent miscarriage is a possibility….fetal delays may
be a potential…wait…wait…we still need to wait.
In 3 months let’s reevaluate.
Mmm let’s make it 6.
A year passes.
It will happen.
Don’t lose hope.
If it is meant to be, it will be.
Trust in God’s plan. Trust in His will. I do. I definitely do.
Do I?
Thrifted finds for a hopeful future baby stuffed in a closet.
1.5 years later stuffed and now hidden.
Visions of a nursery slowly dim.
Maybe we just be thankful we have a beautiful child……
but
When will you give him a sibling?
When do you think you will explore options outside of having biological children?
When is your next doctor’s appointment?
Did they say when you may be able to try?
When will I have an answer?…
When will they stop asking?…
