Will I ever have a baby brother or sister?

Today was another rough day…my daughter sat on the couch with me and asked me if we were ever going to have a baby brother or sister for her?  I had to tell her that mommy tried, but it’s very hard for mommy to have babies, so we’re lucky we have her.  The baby we tried to have died because it didn’t grow big enough, and now it’s in heaven.  She got scared and said she didn’t want to go anywhere.  I tried my best to reassure her that she’s healthy and so are mommy and daddy and no one is going anywhere.  I told her again how lucky we are to have her and she said “so my aunt and uncle are lucky that they have 3 babies?”  My heart broke…..my husband tried to make her feel better by telling her she doesn’t have to share her toys, but I didn’t think that works on her now.  She doesn’t care if she has to share, because to her she needs a playmate and honestly she’s a pretty good sharer, so that doesn’t fly.  I wish I could make her feel better…my heart just breaks every time she brings it up….
