If you remember back to last week, I was home with a sick baby. I got right back into the my old stay-at-home-mom habits and after one too many days of not getting dressed, not doing my hair or makeup, and munching whenever I got hungry, I started to feel like crap. It is amazing…
Miscarriage
One Mom’s Secret is Another Mom’s Blog
I recently got some awesome news. One of my very dear friends is pregnant with her first! I was honoured to be one of the first people she told about her pregnancy and my insides are just bubbling with the news. But I’ve been sworn to secrecy. So you won’t hear anything coming out of these…
Contained
Today is the day. The day I was going to announce my news. The day I would have moved out of the frightening first trimester into the safety of the second trimester. 13 weeks, 3 days.During the eight weeks of my most recent pregnancy, I wrote some blog posts that I meant to share after…
Waiting
I remember when my Mom was pregnant with my youngest sister. I was nine and the thrill of having a baby sibling was almost more than I could bear. From the moment I knew, I could hardly contain my excitement as I waited to find out whether I was going to have a baby brother…
Ragamuffin
There is still one thing that I have yet to get used to about being a Mom. It seems as though I am completely unable to dress this new body of mine. You wouldn’t know it by looking in my closet or on my bedroom floor (I will NOT post a picture for fear of…
Secondary Infertility
Infertility is not something that I’ve really paid much attention to in the past. I know people who are dealing with it and my heart breaks for them, but it just never hit me close enough for it to become very important to me. After giving birth to Cameron, I assumed infertility was an infliction that would…
An Abundance of Lost Words
I’m at a loss for words. I have so much to say. I never would have guessed that I’d be writing about this here – on this blog. I started this blog when I was pregnant with Cameron. I meant for it to capture my journey into and through motherhood. I wanted to reflect on…
I Knew You
This verse has been so important to me in this last week (and again a few months ago). There is very little comfort in losing a pregnancy, but the knowledge that someone loves my baby(ies) as much, if not more than I do gives me some peace. I am picturing Jesus cradling my children in his arms….
E-Sharing
Disclaimer: I’ve decided to write about loss because of a comment I received when everything first happened. “I’m sorry people don’t really talk about this stuff, because I think that makes it ever harder”. I completely agree, and so I want to be part of the solution. Blogging is about reaching out and sharing experiences. It is…
Are Ours
I don’t know how to rectify this feelingI’m feeling. This numbness. This emptiness. Empty. Even thoughI didn’t know you for very long. You were a part of me.Are a part of me. A part of this family. AndWe loved you.Love you.We had big plans for you.For us. Huge dreams for such an insubstantial being.Still so…
