3 Months

Three months have passed since I heard my doctor inform me that I was miscarrying.  I have now officially been "un-pregnant" for longer than I was pregnant.  It's weird, because in some ways it seems like just yesterday that my husband and I were hopping around our bedroom taking photos and staring excitedly at a simple blue plastic stick, yet it also seems like forever ago.

Emotionally, I am doing a lot better than I started out.  In June, I cried nearly every single day.  In July, I still cried quite often {probably too often for my husband's liking}, and there were many days where I felt that would always be the case.  In August I began to turn a corner, and although there were definitely still tears, hidden away in my pillow, typing at my computer, or while alone in the shower, there were on average more positive days than painful ones.  It's now September, and I am doing my best to keep moving forward... trying my best to remain grateful for the blessings I do have in my life, positive about our future, and hopeful that this month, or some month very soon, we'll be lucky enough to get pregnant again.

I'm so very grateful for all the support I've received over the past few months; from my loving husband, my golden-hearted BFF, and my many online group chat board comrades out there on the world wide web.  I don't think I could've made it through this experience {mostly} unscathed without you.

  1. Hi, there. I'm reading along. I am so sorry for your loss and I feel for you deeply. I lost my own angel a few weeks ago and it is one of the hardest things I've ever been through. Thank you for sharing your experience on here. I found you because I was looking for women who had gone through it too. You are one of the reasons I started a blog because I thought it would be a good outlet. Come check it out if you get a chance: thereisahigherhope.blogspot.com

    I'm signing up to follow you. Have a blessed day! -Mel

  2. My heart breaks for you... I know the sorrow and hidden tears that come with a miscarriage. Take as much time as you need to heal and cry as much as you need to. It never gets easy, but it does get easier with time. Your baby was important and even though it's little life was way too short, it's worth remembering. Hang in there.
