2nd Trimester
He gives and He takes away at the same time....
I am feeling so horrible. Yesterday I had my 20 week u/s. Everything looks great, and I am feeling really good. We found out we are having a girl, and we are so excited that Kyle is going to have a little sister!
At the same time, my next door neighbor, who is also my best friend, found out they have lost a baby at 10 weeks. We are really, really close. We see each other every day, we share a nanny, and our first born are the exact same age. I feel so sad for her, having gone through it myself I know just how she feels. Even worse I feel awful that she is going to have to see me everyday, and it is going to hurt her to see me all the time for a while I'm sure. I wish there was a way to take some of her pain away- but only time and God can do that.
Why do things like this always have to happen, and at the same time??

Re: He gives and He takes away at the same time....
That's so sad for your neighbor! I have a friend who was pregnant when I had my m/c and it tore me up for a little bit feeling my loss and trying to be happy for her at the same time. As a little time passed, I was able to be genuinely excited for her despite my loss. DH just kept telling me that God has a plan and reason behind every difficult situation even though we often don't, or don't want to see what it is, and I know it's the truth. I'm sure that as she works through her pain she will be able to see your pg as a wonderful thing and be happy for you and your healthy baby.
Congrats on your little girl!
