Sending you SO MUCH love. You, an “only one” and mom to an “only one” are so incredibly special - I can’t imagine it any other way. Thank you for being so brave and sharing your intimate stories with us - we all need to hear them. ♥️♥️♥️

I had to read this more than once before I could even respond. And I cried a little each time.

One is always enough, because it only takes one child to actually make you a Mom.

I'm so sorry to hear about your miscarriages. I feel your sadness acutely, having waded through my own. I also know how unhelpful people's responses can be to that kind of loss, and I hope your friends are offering you love and support. Thank you for sharing your experience with all of us, because I didn't truly understand what miscarrying meant, until I had my own. Then I became aware that I was surrounded by women who also had this experience, an experience that I never knew of and never offered support for.

All of my best work as a Mom is in tribute to my own Mom. Just like your Mom-ing (including Mom Blogging) is a tribute to yours. Please know that I'm thinking of you, and your Mom, and your family, and sending you all love and light.

Oh Olivia I am thinking of you. I hate how as a society we don’t talk about this - miscarriages in general and secondary infertility specifically. I had two miscarriages and they just suck. Sending lots and lots of love.

I feel lucky to be privileged with any insights from the mind of a capital M Mom. I wish I could absorb even a little bit of your pain. Thank you for sharing any bits you can muster, it truly means so much to feel seen out here in the modern parenting craziness.
