Wanted to share this.

in May 2014 Moms
This week has been almost surreal to me, and I find myself battling between feeling thrilled and terrified. I keep telling myself that I am going to try to enjoy this journey as much as I can, but I also feel the need to try and protect myself from heartbreak and disappointment if things go wrong again. It's a fine line to walk, and I know many of you know what I'm talking about. 

When my first loss was still very fresh, I remember lurking on the PGAL board for inspiration and success stories, and some had posted this (see below). I saved it and promised myself I would use it as a mantra when I was lucky enough to be pregnant again. I'm sure most of you loss mommas are familiar with this, but I just re-read it myself and wanted to share. Hope everyone is having a great Friday!

Today we are pregnant and we love our baby.

We are pregnant until someone tells us otherwise.

Our past does not dictate our future.

A previous miscarriage does not mean we will have another miscarriage.

Hope does not make bad things happen.

We cannot ‘jinx’ your pregnancy by creating a ticker, getting excited, or telling someone. Live in the positive!

There is nothing we can do to prevent a miscarriage from happening.

Worrying ourselves sick doesn't prevent a miscarriage. And if (God forbid) it were to happen again, We know we will survive.

Whatever path us and the baby are on, we're already on. There is nothing we can do about it now, especially worrying, to change the outcome.

Try to enjoy being pregnant and celebrate our little one!

Our past does not determine our future.

History does not have to repeat itself.

One day at a time.

Today we are pregnant and nothing else matters.

We are going to have this baby!

    (((Hugs))). I know how you feel. I've heard so many ladies tell others that there is no such thing as jinxing your pregnancy, but it's hard to believe that sometimes.

    Thank you for this. I have been so worried about another loss that I havent been able to sit back and appreciate the beauty of the LO growing inside me again. I think I will have to try harder to allow myself to enjoy the process and think more positively.

    I needed this today too- I try to tell myself all this, but it is easier said then done at times. I was looking at baby stuff and maternity clothes today and couldn't bring myself to buy even a sleeper just for fun. I'm hoping it is a short lived phase and once I see the little blip on the ultrasound I will know it is truly happening and not a c/p like the stupid nurse told me after first beta.
