Let me set the scene for you: I'm lying in bed with Karleigh for some cuddle time tonight, Rylan slinks in and wedges himself between us flopping his arm across her.

K: You know, Rylan... Mommy almost had a third baby.
R: Uh, huh?
K: Yes, his name was Eli. There would have been plenty of room for him with us wouldn't there?
R: Uh, huh... I looooooove babies.
K: He went to Heaven instead. Don't you think mommy should have three children?
R: Uh, huh, the baby would fit right here (pats a spot between the two of them).

Talk about heartbreaking. If they only knew the whole story...

Kristi, how hearbreaking. I've always said that the effect my loss has had on my son is a million times harder for me than my own grief.

Oh Kristi. I hate to say this again for fear of it losing meaning, but I am truely and deeply sorry. I wish with all my heart that you could be given that 3rd baby, but even more than that I wish for peace and calmness to wrap you up like a blanket and soothe all those still open wounds. Please know that I think of you often.
