Many of you know my younger daughter Elizabeth was once part of a set of twins. I lost one of the babies when my water broke on that sac at 10 weeks. It was a harrowing experience as I was on an airplane, only two hours into a 12-hour flight between Switzerland and the US.
After a tense week, we finally saw Elizabeth’s heart beat, and the other sac collapsed and got out of the way. I had no further complications to her pregnancy, other than the usual stuck position and required c-section.
A few days ago, after taking Elizabeth’s hair out of braids, she said, “I have angel hair!” So we took her picture holding a baby doll, which I later replaced with an image of herself as a baby.
There isn’t a sweeter guardian angel than Emma Hope, Elizabeth’s twin, and no better way to portray them than with a sister who once shared her womb.
This image is available at RedBubble for a keepsake card or a little poster for baby’s room, if you also have a guardian angel who will watch over you or your other children. It includes the very common phrase you will see repeatedly on grief sites, miscarriage tickers, and signatures, “Some people dream of angels…I held one in my arms.”

Sarah,
I’m sorry no one made clear to you back then what the morning after pill was for and the side effects. It can be very painful and scary.
That pill, which is a large dose of hormones, will not affect your ability to become pregnant in the future. Each month, only 1 in 5 women who are not using birth control will get pregnant. Over the course of a year, 4 out of 5 will achieve pregnancy. So it can sometimes take quite a while.
To increase your chances of getting pregnant more quickly, you can learn about fertility awareness, where you figure out what time of the month (it’s only a few days each cycle) you can get pregnant. You can then make sure you are trying at the right time.
This is a nice overview of how it works: http://www.fwhc.org/birth-control/fam.htm
Good luck trying to get pregnant.
