Adoption

I was actually at peace

My cousin/best friend gave birth to a beautiful little boy last night. Being that we were pregnant and due with our son in March I was a nervous about visiting the hospital because.. well our loss was in September at 17 weeks but some days it still feels so fresh. I was afraid holding her son would make my heart break again.

Surprisingly it was okay and I actually felt at peace. I think it is largely in part to the positive route our adoption path is currently on. As I held him and looked down at his little sleepy face I knew for the first time in a long time that someday I will be holding a son or daughter of our own and I will get this experience even if it's in the 'non-traditional' way as my MIL has come to refer to it.  ::eye roll::

  • Totally understand reaching that point where you become okay again with being around other people's babies! It's such a relief in a way to lose all the negative feelings and know that you are on the right path for you now! And I am rolling my eyes at you MIL also! Lol

  • (( Hugs )) I'm glad it went well for you, that is not an easy thing to handle.  Peace is an amazing feeling.  Also majorly eye-rolling and shaking my head at your MIL.
