My Miracle Trio

 
I had secondary infertility for 3 years. I informally divided my family along that fault line of pain into "the big kids" (Hannah, Alex and Maria) and "the little kids" (Tess and Abigail). The death of two sons seven years apart has reframed my family. I now see these three girls as my miracle girls. My miracle trio.

Jon and I like to joke that "We're making up for China" when people are surprised at how many girls we have in our family. Yet its deeper than that. It's deeper than feminism--though girls do rock! My girls are a reminder of what happens when I put my heart back on the line after heartache.
