I wanted to share this birth story b/c it's from the point of view of the mommy-to-be's "sister in love" as she calls her sister-in-law and add to the coolness that her sister in love is a photographer! I just enjoyed reading this journey and thought you may too!

Why the LOSS?
I'm so sad for my friend who I just blogged about being pregnant. She sent out an email on Friday that she lost the baby. My heart just breaks for her and her husband (and everyone affected by this loss). Pregnancy is so scary. It's so unknown. It's so magical but man, oh man...so uncertain.
Shift of gears real quick - I can't help but think that right now, in this moment, there are at least 2 other friends of mine trying to conceive a child - and there is a chance that we could all be pregnant at the same time. How fun would that be???

No More Breaks
We decided to take a break from trying to make a baby for just one month. We had only been trying for one month before we decided to take the break so I could party it up at girls weekend. In seeking some reassurance, I talked to a few friends about the decision, going back and forth with myself about if I was a bad person for choosing alcohol over pregnancy. Of course, ultimately, it was mine and Steve's decision and everyone I talked to agreed it was our decision but okay to do so if that is what we chose. But I always like a little reassurance.
A few weeks ago, I asked one of my friends who is usually my drinking buddy at girls weekend and who has been trying for a while to conceive their 2nd child, if there might be a reason why she wouldn't be drinking at girls weekend - hinting the obvious that there is a bun in the oven. Her reply was no, that she was trying not to get discouraged, but that after months of trying, there was still no baby.
Can you guess where this story is leading? She took a pregnancy test on Friday - the day we were leaving to go to the beach for Girls Weekend and guess what??? PREGNANT! It was one of those tests I've talked about previously that are not quite clear and it was a faint line, but it's not very common to get a false positive on a pregnancy test. She bought some tests that read pregnant/not pregnant and tested again on Saturday morning and it clearly read pregnant. Yay!! So it was odoul's and water for her at girls weekend and miller chill for me. I'm so excited for her!!!
So here Steve and I are again - jumping back on the baby making train. I'm excited we are for real trying again and I pray that the Lord will bless us with a baby in my belly soon!!!!! Fun times!
