A year later...

A year ago today (well, tonight), I was losing my fourth pregnancy (third lost baby). I remember. I'll always remember. My heart is breaking. This whole week has been spent with reminders, painful, sad reminders, of that lost baby.

Will this ever get easier?

Accents

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Inland North
 
You may think you speak "Standard English straight out of the dictionary" but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like "Are you from Wisconsin?" or "Are you from Chicago?"  Chances are you call carbonated drinks "pop."
 
The Northeast
 
Philadelphia
 
The Midland
 
The South
 
Boston
 
The West
 
North Central


I've never lived further north than I do now. I live near Charlotte. How do I have an Inland Northern accent?

What about you?

Four years! It feels like it was just yesterday.










Best 4 years of my life.

Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day 2013


Elias

I always remember my lost babies, all of them. And I will forever.

Strong

I'm not strong.

Well, maybe I should rephrase that. I'm not strong enough.

All of this pertains to my last [real] post.

More announcements. Yes, more joy, but also more heartache for me. Why did this have to go wrong for us? Why again?

I feel left out. This is something I want more than anyone can imagine, yet it's something that I can't easily obtain. Especially not something that the majority of my friends have now obtained without issue. But you know what? I wouldn't wish these internal struggles on my worst enemy, let alone a friend.

I've been lapped. Hopefully, I'll catch up soon, but I've been without much hope recently. Really, why should I expect things to go well for us (and easy. My pregnancy with Selah wasn't easy.)? They haven't so far.

But, like I said, I'm not strong enough to handle another announcement by myself, even if I know about it ahead of time.
