Hindsight is truly 20/20. Usually that expression is used to denote a bit of regret at decisions that perspective would have prevented. Today, for me, it is an expression of gratitude at all the experiences I have had that have prepared me for what I am going through right now. We cannot understand the full effect of life’s experiences until we can look back on them and their influence on today’s.
Four years ago, when Tim and I decided we wanted to have another baby, we fully expected to get pregnant within a couple of months as I had with my four girls. Miscarriage was not even on our radar. Our expectations completely shifted after 9 months of menstrual cycle after menstrual cycle and then 5 miscarriages within a 2 1/2 year period.
