    When things don’t happen easily for me I look at it like maybe that’s the Lord telling me that maybe it’s not his will for me. Just something to think about

      So when things are hard we give up? Should students apply that in school? Should we quit our jobs when they’re hard? Just wondering where we draw the line here on when to give up vs keep trying.

    I found your channel today: and I have watched quite a few videos but not all.
    I love how Charlie responds to the camera/video recorder. Not clear what she is aware when she looks to the video recorder. I can say her eyes light up and I see her thinking then she has a beautiful smile.
    Excellent you named the Podcast, Don't Judge, Just Love.
    Entirely appropriate name as it is quite easy to judge and tell your husband and you, my opinions. Having watched a number of your videos, my feelings are no judgement only love for your Family.
    You, both have an absolute energy, enormous compassion and obviously immense Faith to live your life with the Choices you have made.
    Only you can understand the incredible gift your daughters provide you daily. ▪️You are a living example illustrating that the joys and Miracles of life come in unexpected forms.
    You have a strong Faith. Only my view. ▪️▫️ Keep following your faith without EXPECTATION. It is the most difficult aspect for anyone.▫️▪️
    No one can predict if you will have a child from anyone of these Five Embryos left. If you feel lead to continue, then leave it with God.
    We only have one day at a time. We never know why we go through things......Sometimes we don't understand until years, even decades later.
    Your heart break is deeply painful, every time you go through a day like today. Only those families who have gone through it can understand.
    Love and Hugs .....we are all learning to let go of the Outcomes as we go through the process. The process is the Journey. The Journey is Life. 💙💖

    This post helped me a lot. I’m so sorry you are going through this. I was just told Monday our last embryo transfer was a MC. No HB at 6wks and an undersized sack. I’ve had 5 failures in the last 14 months including 2 more ER’s. I don’t know how to process because the last embryo was supposed to work and it also failed and I have no more. I just don’t understand. I’m starting to doubt the path God lead me down. Did I misunderstand ? IVF is SO humbling.
    Sending prayers and love to you and your family.

    I know couples who would not even attempt to have another child after having one with a major lifelong disability, the fact that you both have 2 and want to continue is amazing. If you didn’t get your embryos tested pcr when they were fertilized which I wouldn’t think u had considering…it wouldn’t make a difference. U would follow through with the outcome regardless of any test u would choose life obviously and that’s the right choice. But if it doesn’t work out for the five remaining. All u need to know is you did all u can do and you guys have it your all. I don’t know your entire history. If u can keep trying etc. naturally. Than god will let u know by all means. But you do have two daughters with major special needs. I would be so concerned for their future and what u do have now. No one is promised tomorrow. Either you or your husband can suddenly die leaving the other with a world of work. Then having girls with disabilities verse boys. Girls are more vulnerable or more of a target god forbid something happened to either one of you or both. Bad people can hurt them etc. I would be very afraid to bring more children with disabilities into the world and have them be subjected to the evil of the world. You will need to make provisions and plans for them maybe that’s why u want more children to take care of them but that’s not fare to the unborn Children either. That their lives are predestined to be caregivers indefinitely. I knew of a family who had s girl with Autism and they deliberately tried for another girl to be the sisters keeper and they ended up having two boys. Everyone in my class gasped at the idea that they tried to plan to have a baby girl to be a caregiver for her future. So I really think u guys should fully consider what u are doing. You already have two out of three children, whose to say your next five won’t have major disabilities either? I know ur gonna go for it. I wish you all the best but at this point I would leave well enough alone and listen to God. If they all fail then that’s God telling you that he said no. It’s not a fail. It’s his choice not yours. We always think that because god didn’t answer our prayers the way we want him to or get the answer we want that he’s not listening or answering , no it’s we aren’t listening to his answer which is no or he has different plans for us. So I do wish you get all the blessings and wants you want but be prepared for Gods plan.
