Well, we all have our good moments and our bad. November was a gloomy month in our home. At 13+ weeks I lost another baby. This baby was our 6th late term loss since Bridger was born. My doctor and several specialists were certain that they had my issues figured out. A genetic blood disorder called Factor V Leiden causes my blood to clot more that a "normal" persons. It also causes clots to form in the placenta or cord and cuts off the blood and oxygen supply to the babies. I and the doctors were positive that a daily heparin injection would keep my blood from clotting. However, it was not to be. We have learned not everything we want is the same as what Heavenly Father wants for us. We hoped for another baby, the boys prayed fervently and blessings were given but we are thankful for what we have and with or without another Jensen, we are happy and very blessed.

I'm so sorry! That is yucky to have to go through. While I can't relate to what you went through and are going through, I understand the pain and frustration of dealing with those kinds of issues. I am inspired by the fact that you can look at your blessings despite all that you have endured! You have a great attitude!
My heart is achy and breaky for you. I know there are blessings and happiness for someone who values and treasures motherhood as you do.
