THE JOURNEY: May 2011
http://hopeslossandlife.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
The things you encounter on the journey called life. Monday, May 30, 2011. Some women feel betrayed by their bodies after having a miscarriage and some women do not want to talk about it and keep it a secret that only they and their close family and friends will share. With both of my miscarriages, I searched for answers. Did I do something wrong? Did I not notice the symptoms and why? Could I have done something different to change the outcome? Am I not meant to have kids? Is something wrong with me?

THE JOURNEY: Go with the flow
http://hopeslossandlife.blogspot.com/2013/08/go-with-flow.html
The things you encounter on the journey called life. Wednesday, August 7, 2013. Go with the flow. I have heard many many times "This is how you are supposed to do " and "This is when you should ". You fill in the blank, because if you are a parent I'm sure you have heard many of these kinds of statements, whether it be from your doctor, your mother, your mother-in-law, your friends, other parents, etc, etc. BECAUSE EVERY BABY, EVERY CHILD AND EVERY PERSON IS DIFFERENT! When people ask me for advice or I ...

THE JOURNEY: September 2011
http://hopeslossandlife.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
The things you encounter on the journey called life. Thursday, September 29, 2011. The second stage of grief, anger. The grieving person may then be furious at the person who inflicted the hurt (even if dead), or at the world, for letting it happen. He/She may be angry with themself for letting the event take place, even if, realistically, nothing could have stopped it.". When you lose a baby so many emotions hit you at once and then resurface again and again, sometimes when you least expect it. How do b...

The things you encounter on the journey called life. Monday, June 27, 2011. When Are You Going to Have Kids? When are you going to have kids? This is a question that I have been asked more times than I can count; before we were able to get pregnant, during my m/c and even now, after just losing Lindsey due to IC and infection. Just yesterday, just barely over a month after we lost Lindsey, someone actually asked me this. "So when are you guys going to have kids? Haven't we suffered enough? So of course I...

The things you encounter on the journey called life. Quotes are something that I have always found comforting and inspiring. I can always find one that fits my mood! As I find them, I will share them here. Enjoy. The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, nor touched, but are felt in the heart. *Helen Keller*. Bereavement is the deepest initiation into the mysteries of human life, an initiation more searching and profound than even happy love. - Dean Inge. What we have once enjoyed a...

THE JOURNEY: Progressing Towards Labor
http://hopeslossandlife.blogspot.com/2012/11/progressing-towards-labor.html
The things you encounter on the journey called life. Monday, November 19, 2012. Well after I got my cerclage removed at 36 weeks I'm pretty sure I began dilating shortly after. I ended up in labor and delivery once because I swore my water was leaking. They denied this but did say I was 4cm. Of course, they proceeded to tell me it was unlikely I would make it to the end of the week without delivery, this was around 37 weeks if I remember right. Well, 2 weeks later I was still waiting! I decided since I w...

THE JOURNEY: Doing it again
http://hopeslossandlife.blogspot.com/2013/08/doing-it-again.html
The things you encounter on the journey called life. Sunday, August 4, 2013. Here I am, 17 weeks pregnant. 5th pregnancy, one healthy perfect little boy at home and 3 angels. Apparently, the consequence for taking progesterone supplements (for me) was not being able to keep anything down and forced me to go on anti-nausea meds. This time I wasn't on anything, just had a really acidic stomach and lots of nausea. Got in and had the cerclage a week after my consultation (around 15 weeks). Suddenly the bleed...

THE JOURNEY: Update after follow-up cerclage appointment
http://hopeslossandlife.blogspot.com/2012/01/update-after-follow-up-cerclage.html
The things you encounter on the journey called life. Friday, January 27, 2012. Update after follow-up cerclage appointment. We went at 8am today to RMH MFM to check up on how my cerclage and cervix is holding up. I had been on the couch or in bed since Monday after being released from the hospital until today. My cervical length was 3.5cm! You can see the two stitches on the ultrasound screen, which I think is pretty interesting. Jimmy and I were so relieved, I cannot tell you how happy this news made us!
