What the .....?????

In between having my first and my middle children I sufferred 3 miscarriages.  It was a very difficult time for us but we made it through and didn't give up, thankgoodness, because we now have 3 beautiful children to show for our patience and struggle.  I still get sad from time to time when I think about it, but now, after a moment last summer, I have to laugh a little whenever I think about it.  So here's the story.........

One evening last summer (summer of 2010) my son and I were watching the movie "Up".  Well if you've seen it you will know which part I'm talking about, but if you haven't, there is a part at the beginning of the movie were the little couple is decorating a baby room and then in the next scene she is sitting, crying in the doctors office, only to have no baby.  Well, my son asks me why she is crying?  So I say to him, "I think she may have lost her baby, you know, kind of like how I lost my 3 babies."  Chase says, "I didn't know you lost 3 babies mom."  So I ask him if he remembers when I had to go to the hospital and when he asked me where the babies were that were in my tummy, etc etc.  To which he seemed to understand then because we ended the conversation with him saying "OH YEAH."  Okay, done right?  RIGHT!

Two days later, I'm in the garage cleaning some stuff up and Chase and his good buddy Garrett come walking up the driveway from Garretts house and they are dragging a cooler behind them that we had lent to Garretts parents.  So I give them usual, "Hey Boys!"  Well, Garrett stops dead at the edge of the garage and to my surprise says,"Sara, Chase said that you lost 3 babies."  So I confirm it and explain that they were little, blah blah blah, and he is still just kind of staring blankly at me and after a few minutes of silence he looks up and me and says......"But Sara, WHERE DID YOU LEAVE THEM and WHO TAKES CARE OF THEM NOW!?!"  He was completely mortified!!!  I just bursted out laughing and then had to explain to him how that actually happened!  He actually thought that I just decided that I didn't want those 3 so I just left them at the store or something one day!

I came inside and told my husband that I may have to call Garretts parents and do some explaining! 

So now, whenever I think about the 3 little angels I lost a small smile comes across my face now!  I will never forget that story!  It made such a sad time a little less sad somehow.
