And there was no reason for you to apologize, I just sometimes get to writing and don't want to remember that living with ADHD is hard, and I don't know what it's like since I don't have it. Your comment was kind of a gentle push that said "hey, give him a little break" and I needed it, so thank you!Mrs.Joynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07695376462003604669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5661834798452792476.post-37088782701751152922008-06-06T08:28:00.000-07:002008-06-06T08:28:00.000-07:00Beautiful post and a wonderful story.

I hope I didn't offend you with my post about ADHD, that was not my intent in the least. I was just frustrated.

Thank you so much for sharing! ...I loved this post. Thank you so much for sharing! What a great story about your son and the charms! I have a similar story to yours. I have three sons, but have had a total of 9 pregnancies. Five of the early losses were at about five or six weeks and one was at nine weeks. I was never able to do testing on them. I never thought about naming either since I don;t know genders. I also lost my second son's twin at 7 weeks and lost my third son's twin at 18 weeks. The twin I lost at 18w had stopped growing at about 13 weeks (all was fine at 12w u/s). By the time delivery came about, they could not do testing or tell me the gender. Of any of them, this bothers me the most. I want to know. I want to give the baby a proper name. Your post has really made me thing and I have chosen the name Sam. I have always like Samuel and Samantha. And Sam can be for either! Thanks, I feel a little bit more healing going on just typing this! I will have to see if any names come to me for the others.

As you may know, I also feel a special connection to butterflies, since I carried and we lost our baby girl Molly. Thinking of and praying for you and your angel babies today.

I'll be thinking of you & all the other babyloss moms as we release our monarch in Katie's memory, & silently giving thanks for all the support I've received from my cyberfriends as well as our real-life angels.
