Late Term and Child Loss

Long night of the soul (Siggy warning)

One year ago tonight a freak accident occurred and I fell. Right around now actually I was staring at the fluid running out of me. It was just like it was Tommy's hopes and dreams spilling on to the ER floor. His heart was beating but his lungs at 19 weeks just couldn't keep it going. I was induced and the next day Tommy was born.

So much has happened since then. Tears of grief. Tears of hope. Now tears of joy. Growing there right now are two little brothers. It seems incredible that they have almost the same due day. Each appointment is a bittersweet echo of a year before.

Tonight thoughts go back to a year ago. Reliving everything, remembering everything. Tommy will never be forgotten. But today there is also hope and anticipation for the days to come. I know Tommy is watching over them and us. 

And I pray he watches over each of you too.

    I'm sorry for the loss of Tommy. 
    I loss my son last year at 29 weeks, his due date was 12/11. I'm expecting a rainbow baby girl on 12/26 and I can understand how each appointment and milestone are reminders of last year. 

    Wishing the rest of your pregnancy is easy and uneventful.
