Try Try Again....

Well, unfortunately our attempt to add another baby to our lovely family in 2012 has ended.

We started trying to conceive in Jaunary, with the excitement and promise of a beautiful baby.  We were not successful until our third cycle in March.  That is definately not a long time to try, just hard to do when we are sometimes on opposite shifts.  We were so excited!  The prospect of 2 cousins born close together was exciting, and the thought of sharing my  pregnancy with my sister was an unexpected blessing.

We were so excited we shared the news before the 12th week with our family and close friends.  We had even told the kids, and they were so excited.  Jarrett is completely enamoured with his cousin Daniel, we knew he would be an excellent big brother.

Unfortunately we also had to share the news of our loss with the children too.  We told them this baby wasn't healthy enough to join us around Christmas time, and we would just have to wait until sometime next year for a new baby.  They seem to be understanding, so far.
