Wednesday's will forever be my reminder of the baby we never got to meet, but I'm doing amazingly well given the circumstances. I still have my moments, but I'm here, working, living, and starting to smile again & enjoy the blessings I do have in my life. I'll never forget this baby, and I'm sure I'll still cry for them for a long time to come. I also think LO's looking down on me right now & is very proud of how strong their mama is. I wish you all the same.

I, too, was hearing those dreaded words two weeks ago (exactly, even at this time). This was our first pregnancy. I just can't get those words from ringing in my ears, "There is no heartbeat."
I feel like I'm handing this fairly well. I still feel lucky to have a great husband and family, but I sure do miss my baby. I have faith that my mother was waiting in heaven for our baby. If nothing else, I find comfort that she'll meet one of her grandbabies.
I'm sorry to all of you. Let's all hope that our hearts heal a bit more each day.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your LO and your mother. I lost my mom to cancer when I was 13 and I take comfort in thinking of her with the two babies she lost and the one I lost.
