I am very sorry for your loss as well..I completely understand how hard it is..As I am still working through it.
We lost our son just a year and a bit ago..I also know how another child would never replace that baby. Although I am very glad that you have another little one now..Gives me a little hope..;-)
Take Care, Terralynn

Heather- I heard that Jeffrey still lives in California because he has breathing problems and the air quality in New York is bad for him.

I think this was a really nice article. I really admire Sherri’s positive outlook on motherhood!

I completely agree with Terralyn. And my heart goes out to you and also to CeCe. Thank you for sharing your stories on this site and I wish you the best of luck in the future and congratulatins on your beautiful children.
I think this celebrity is anything but arrogant and if people who judged walked a day in their shoes they might think twice about spouting off.

Hi,everyone
I lost my first pregnancy at 5 months that was the hardest thing I’ve ever hand to go through. I miscarried six years ago, I was 31 years old. I have a 5 yr old son now. I had a lot of support believe it or not, I found a great support group online. Thanks CeCe

I find her neither arrogant not ignorant. 37 isn’t very young, but it’s not that old either. I’m sorry that her son struggled so much and for the loss of her daughter. I love her happy personality.

I cant believe that someone could critisize and call this poor woman arrogant..I found that very funny.
I myself have and am suffering from infertility and I find people who have not gone through this at times very “ARROGANT”.
It must be nice to be judging these people who are most likely going through the most difficult times of their lives..It is very traumatic to be struggling for a child only to lose them halfway through the pregnancy as I just went through this.
I lost a baby last November at 18 weeks after 2 1/2 years of infertility treatments. It is a very difficult position to be in. And a woman’s feelings during this are also very delicate. Every month for a woman struggling with infertility is like a loss. Like you you lose a baby that you already have in your mind and love with each negative pregnancy test. It is like a rollercoaster. You start to develop hope only to have it crushed at the end of your cycle. And when you finally get that positive test it is the most amazing feeling, like all you were put through with injections and IUI or IVF, the pain, the emotions were all worthwhile. I got to almost 5 months on my son and then he died inutero as well. It was the most horrible feeling in the world. Then you start to think are you kidding me I have to go through this torture again. I was not in my 30′s when I started trying to conceive. I was in my mid 20′s. I also had PCOS and I was able to through the miracles of science conceive my 2 beautiful boys before losing my 3rd son. My first was born at 32 weeks and spent 7 weeks in NICU being tube fed and on oxygen. Perfectly healthy woman otherwise. I dont smoke, drink, ate well. So no age does no have squat to do with it if you have a diagnosed fertility problem. We are trying again and I am having injections and IUI. I am 32 right now. I found it a little offensive to say that women suffering from this are arrogant. Maybe you would feel differently had you walked in mine and other ladies shoes. Terralynn

My heart goes out to Sherri. She seems like such a lovely lady. She was so open about doing IVF and the heartache of infertility and miscarriage. She is so blessed to have such an adorable son. I remember her saying on The View that her estranged husband has a child, not much younger than their child, with the woman he cheated on her with while Jeffrey Charles was still in the NICU. She was so gracious about it. She is a class act, all the way.

Elisabeth there are many reasons why a woman may choose to conceive later in life and many of them have nothing to do with arrogance.
For all we know she met her husband later in life. More women are getting married later and therefore children are pushed off until a little later. Maybe she wasn’t in a good position financially to have a baby in her 20s. And we have no idea from this article how many years Sherri struggled with infertility before she was able to conceive. Obviously when a woman faces fertility issues her age may be a factor, but not the only factor.

Honestly I don’t see how someone can read this story of triumph and still manage to find a way to criticize.

I think it is very normal to have feelings of “why” when things don’t go as planned. I started trying for my 3rd son at 27 and found out that I have PCOS and I probably wouldn’t be able to conceive again. After a miscarriage exactly a year to the day I found out that I was pregnant with my baby. I now have my 3rd baby boy and I am thrilled but those feelings of “why” did consume me. BTW-I am 35 and I wasn’t naive enough to think that I would sail through a pregnancy a little older without problems. I had tests done and he was born fabulous..just the smallest of my 3 @ 7-6. I was lucky, I am lucky. And I know it.

What a heartbreaking and empowering story. It’s a shame that they couldn’t make the marriage work after all they had been through together, but it’s so nice to read about how much they love their “little miracle.”
