So, I am not complaining about Riley. Every day with her is an amazing miracle. We are so blessed to just have her around, let alone get to watch her grow and learn. The absolute worst cry-filled, sleepless, fit throwing night is so much unbelievably better than the silent nights we had before. If sleep is the price, I am willing to pay.
I would give up all my sleep if that's what it took. I wish I could give it away and get the boys back (and every other deadbabymamas children back). My wish to each of you is that you get your sleepless nights too. And on that day you can each understand that your fellow deadbabymamas are not complaining, we are purely living in the second. Lavishing in it really, because each of us know how short every single moment can be.
She is worth everything.

She is beautiful. Just beautiful.
She is gorgeous! I'd give up sleep and cupckaes for one of those too! :)
Totally seperate note... I had my tvc on Friday. Hoping and praying it works!
She is beautiful and worth every minute of lost sleep and more, I'm sure. I have a gift for you and I'll try to send it when I'm home (do J.J. and Michelle have your address?).
I understand your difficulty in not wanting to post "negative" parenting moments, but I'm glad you do because it helps us all see that there is an end to the most acute moments of pain and joy does return to your hearts and your life. I hope you enjoy your first Christmas with Riley!
Oh my gosh! I have thought the same thing SOOOO many times! There are things that sometimes I need to "vent" about, but I'm always sure to clarify that I am HAPPY to be frustrated, if that makes sense! I would rather never sleep and have my daughter. I know all too well what you mean by this . . .I have also lost 2 boys, and often been upset by people complaining about their children. I think it's okay to feel some frustration . . .it's all in HOW you say it, and you say it with sensitivity and love. :)
What a lovely post.
