Major prayer request

Ok, normally I leave other people to talk about their lives and try not to spread someone else's news. But I have to make an exception. One of my customers that is super sweet and always positive is going through something I wouldn't wish on anyone. Last I saw of her, she was about 7 mos pregnant with twins (both boys I think) and telling another pregnant woman (who was expecting only one) "If I can give birth to triplets and then turn around and get pregnant and carry twins, you can do anything you want. Just hold your head up and remember why you are putting your body through those paces". I saw her today and was shocked to see that she hadn't gotten any bigger and was looking super out of it. I asked her how she was doing since I didn't expect her to be upright and in the store. She looked at me and I about lost it. She told me that she had an emergency c-section and had to deliver the babies early. Neither one of the babies made it. My heart broke like a shattered mirror. My heart went out to her as a mother of an angel, myself. She asked me to not ask about it anymore because she was having a hard time holding it together. She gave birth on the 8th and today was the 14th. She was heavily drugged for the pain (physical and mental) that she could barely walk and talk. Please keep this woman (about my age) in your prayers as she struggles to keep her head up and deal with everyday life with triplets at home (I think they are about 2 or 3). Please pray for all women dealing with the loss of a child or pregnancy. Thank you for reading.

Its been a while

Since I've posted on here. I have to admit, there are days I want to come on and spill my guts out here, but I'm afraid of being that vulnerable. The emotions are so raw and cut me so deep. I know its part of the "Grand Design", but that doesn't mean I have to agree.
I found out tonight that my cousin (who is older than me by about 2 years) is pregnant. I'm so excited for her, but can't help but feel a little green. I would have been almost 30weeks by now. Third trimester and huge. December and Christmas are coming fast and I already feel that our chance of getting pregnant by then is almost non-exhistant. There is a chance, but with how things are going, its not going to work out that way. There are many "OOPS" pregnancies around us right now and that tends to make it harder to keep going and keep trying. I know people say "Relax and enjoy being married. Kids will come when its time. You are still young and being pregnant once means you can do it again." Yea, I know I'm still young and healthy. I'm also perfectly ready for that expansion to our family. On to cycle 8 and month 10. Cross your fingers.
I'm so excited for all those who have found out they are pregnant (I LOVE YOU LADIES!) and those who have given birth so far (beautiful Mommies!). Please don't let my green eyed monster taint that at all.
