And that's been on my mind a lot lately - the fear that I'm going to continue to miscarry, to continue to lose children.
I love Cade and Mila with everything I have. They are my world. And, God willing, I'll have another, but if not...
then...
I have them. And in the end, that will be enough.
So, I have to publicly acknowledge how much I love them and how much they mean to me. They bring me more joy than I really ever though I'd have. In the throes of my my eating disorder, years ago, nothing made me happy. Now I can smile and laugh out loud and really mean it, because they are my world. They bring that joy and meaning to my life that I didn't ever think I'd find.
And, yes, I've lost two kids...but I have two kids...
and they are so amazing.
They make life beautiful.
So, I"ll take my 50%. And hope that percentage can swing a little more in my favor, in time. But if not?
I have my 50%.

I am so sorry for what you have lost. But how great that you are able to see what you have too. Kids are the best at reminding you of the good in the world.
(And speaking of good in the world... Mils's pigtails in the last picture? Too frickin' cute!!)
I am sorry for your loss and so grateful for the family and love that you have for them. Your family is beautiful and they have a beautiful and special mama. They are lucky just as you are lucky. I love you girl.
I too forget my blessings when faced with so much pain and sorrow. It's so hard. But yes, you have 2 awesome kids who think the world of you! I too have lost 2 kids, and have only one. But this one on the way is my beautiful rainbow after the storm, and I'll be praying for a rainbow in your life as well.
You're really wise Brie. We should all be thankful for what we've got, even if it is sometimes hard to focus on the good things in life, when we're feeling so down.
Your kids look wonderful!
your babies are beautiful and they are blessed to have a mama that loves them as you do.
i'm sorry things have been hard. thinking about you <3
I love u Brie. Never forget im always here. I love u so much!! Thinking of u.
I'm sorry you have had to experience two losses. I've miscarried three times now and each has been it's own process of grieving. I don't pretend to know what it's like to have a stillborn, as all of mine were in the first trimester, but I do know that it can be a difficult thing to experience and my heart goes out to you. Thanks for reminding me to hold my two precious kiddos that I do have just a little tighter and to be always grateful for them.
I got the feeling that despite your losses, you see your "50%" as your 100% right now, and that's beautiful:)
Mila and Cade are so lucky to have you as their mother, and hopefully another person will fall into that luck one day too, for you, and for them!
I love your post!
The pictures are so sweet and precious. You are such a great Mom and person.
Very positive. Thanks. ")
