Pregnant after a Loss

It's all back here.. :S

After Finn died I was hospitalized for shock, and in that time all of the baby stuff was moved out of our house and put in storage - so when I came home, I came home to nothing..no evidence of a baby ever being here, other than an empty sad room.

Over recent months a few things have come back - the dresser, bookshelf, the comfy nursing chair..just enough for me to start putting away some clothes & books, and sit in the chair for some peaceful time in the quiet room.

Well... Today everything came back. The crib he never got to sleep in, the bassinet he was in once for all of two minutes, the swing he was in a couple times.. diaper pail, bathtub, exersaucer...

And.. Mixed up in the stuff were four 'congratulations on your new baby boy' cards.. "You dreamed of him and now he's here in your arms"...

I didn't expect it to be so hard to see it all again, but the cards just threw me ...I wasn't expecting to see those. Crushing.

A part of me feels very uneasy having it all here - like I'm jinxing it. Deja vu even - we've done this already - all the imagining and dreaming.

Finn was here for such s brief time but his mark is on everything - and as much as I've tried to change and personalize things for our new baby boy.. it all just reminds me so much of all the love and happiness we once saw in this stuff and the pain it all came to represent.

How am I going to deal with actually having him in my arms? :S

  • Sorry honey:(big hugs..I think you are still going through the grieving process and it is going to take time. Seeing all those things brought back precious Finn and also the fear of losing this LO. This is of course all ok. I think once your baby boy is in your arms it will actually help. Do you have someone can stay with you during the day? I wish you comfort and peace. Finn was well loved...you have that:)
