Have to share my excitement

A friend of mine lost his 7 1/2 month old daughter to SIDS in  the begining of this year,
and it has really impacted my life. It has caused me to re think my way of parenting and be more grateful for what my daughters bring to my life.
Him and his fiance (who is an incredible woman!) have grown stronger and closer since the tragedy, and every day they tell me how thankful they were to have her in their lives even if it was only 7 1/2 months....
They were contemplating getting their tubes tied after she passed away, but eventually they decided in the future they would love to have one more child, of course they mean a few years down the line BUT...
They just found out that they are expecting a baby in March!!!

SUPRISE!

They are so overjoyed with the news of another baby, sadly enough though they've had to defend themselves from FAMILY nonetheless who believe they are trying to replace their daughter. This pregnancy was a complete surprise, and I feel it is wrong for anyone to try and make them feel bad about this baby. There is no way to replace a child that is lost, Ever.
I for one feel they have a lot of love to offer as parents,
as a family in general.

I'm pretty thrilled and decided to share. Big Smile

    I think it is EVIL that they have to defend themselves from family! Their family should be overjoyed as well!! It is a wonderful gift to have another baby! They can never "replace" the child they lost. Those people should be ashamed of themselves! 

    On the positive side, that is fantastic! What a wonderful blessing! I hope they have a happy and healthy 9 months and a wonderful life with the new baby!

    Yes it's pretty disgusting anyone would judge them that way...
    sometimes people forget to put themselves in others' shoes before judging.

    This baby is the greatest thing that could ever happen to them,
    it's not even my baby and I'm so over the moon!
    Thanks for sharing in my excitement!

    Thats really crappy that at a joyous moment they are having to defend themselves. What are they supposed to do moron the loss of their daughter the rest of their lives without having anymore children. urgh

    Tell them congratulations and hope they have a H&H 9 months
