Today our baby girl would have been one. Well, at least according to our due date – a date that doesn’t mean much when you’re pregnant, but when you’ve lost a child, it certainly makes the spot. A lot has happened since we lost her and this is not how I thought our life would [...]

Reflections on Mother’s Day…

For years this holiday is about your mother and it comes and goes with a card and some flowers and you pause and are thankful for the woman who gave you life. And then one day you’re pregnant and now look who’s the mother. But then the unthinkable happens and your baby dies before they [...]

They did a segment on the Today’s Show (which I don’t normally watch – I’m a GMA girl) on miscarriage. It was even a rather lengthy segment and they did it well, which is so appreciated. There just isn’t enough media coverage on miscarriage and infertility despite how many people it effects. I’ve talked a [...]
In memorium

I’ve commemorated several things on this blog – all to do with my pregnancy. Today marks one more, the last one actually. Because a year ago today we were in the doctor’s office for our weekly scan and we found out her heartbeat had simply stopped. The doctor couldn’t explain it and we felt like [...]

It just pretty much sucks that a year after getting pregnant and we still don’t have any children at home. It just seems we’ve had one setback after another and today I’ve [...]

I faced my due date with dread for months, expecting it to be a rather difficult day. And to be truthful, the days leading up to it were much worse than the actual day. But I thought once I passed that date, I would feel better, I’d have some closure. Evidently that’s not the case. [...]
My due date…

Today was to be my due date. I remind myself that it’s just a date and that for most pregnant women the due date is just a loose guideline. But for a woman who’s lost a child, it’s a significant date. A date to remember or mark or set aside to spend a few moments [...]
November musings

It’s November and I would have been due this month so I should be laid up in bed, hugely pregnant and awaiting the birth of our first child. Most days I manage just fine, I’ve had lots of time to grieve in the last few months. But admittedly, it is still difficult at times. In [...]
