Losing Kara: December 2011

http://losingkara.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html

My life since losing my darling Kara at 37wks 3 days into my pregnancy. Thursday, December 29, 2011. Christmas 2011, minus one. Even now, the thought of that tiny table with three little names on the seating cards makes me sad and angry. She has been erased from this earth, but not from our family and never from my memory or my heart. I must say, M and Q were the best dressed of the guests (50 in all! Posted by Kara's Mom.

Grief, the gift that keeps on giving | Tales of the Phoenix

https://talesphoenix.wordpress.com/2010/12/01/grief-the-gift-that-keeps-on-giving

Tales of the Phoenix. Grief, the gift that keeps on giving. December 1, 2010. The Sunday after Thanksgiving, my brother called. We don’t usually talk on the phone, so at first, I thought he called to ask me something. We chatted for awhile, and I stopped wondering why he called. Maybe he just called to chat? Until he said, “we have news”. I knew what it was immediately. I did a pretty good job of not losing it on the phone. But ever since then, I’ve been a mess. From → Uncategorized. Leave one →.

Losing Kara: June 2011

http://losingkara.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html

My life since losing my darling Kara at 37wks 3 days into my pregnancy. Sunday, June 5, 2011. 3 years of loss. Yesterday was 3 years since we lost Kara. Today was 3 years since her birth. The pain is still fresh I have days where I can sob as if it were yesterday. I grieve her as much today as I did 3 years ago when I learned of her death inside of me. Posted by Kara's Mom.

Losing Kara: December 2010

http://losingkara.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html

My life since losing my darling Kara at 37wks 3 days into my pregnancy. Wednesday, December 15, 2010. 5 Month photos and update. The other thing is bedtime. They and I.LOVE our bedtime routine. Usually around 5:30pm we start bathtime, dress in our jammies and Sleepsacks and sing a few songs and read a few books. Then our bedtime book and bottles, and we are ASLEEP by 6pm! I vary this a little bit depending on how tired they both are. But usually this is our routine and we love it. Posted by Kara's Mom.

Losing Kara: February 2011

http://losingkara.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html

My life since losing my darling Kara at 37wks 3 days into my pregnancy. Sunday, February 6, 2011. If I had to choose the best 'toy' we bought for them, it's definitely the Rainforest Jumperoos. They LOVE LOVE LOVE them. See smiling faces above. :-). When does this get better? But DH is still looking for work and our finances are very stressed. AND - I want another baby. Yes, I want one more child, so I'll have to wait on that belly reduction surgery. Posted by Kara's Mom. Links to this post.

C’est la Vie | Tales of the Phoenix

https://talesphoenix.wordpress.com/2011/01/08/cest-la-vie

Tales of the Phoenix. C’est la Vie. January 8, 2011. I’ve been fascinated of late by Julia Child’s life. I’ve been looking for female childless role models, who had full lives without children. Did Julia struggle with infertility? I needed to know. I picked up her autobiography, My Life in France. Recently. I admire a woman who is as passionate about food and cooking as much. More than I am! I decided against reading the popular Julie&Julia. Cooking TV show, “The French Chef”. All the rea...I feel that J...

I suppose I should say something | Tales of the Phoenix

https://talesphoenix.wordpress.com/2010/11/06/i-suppose-i-should-say-something

Tales of the Phoenix. I suppose I should say something. November 6, 2010. I know I’ve been gone. It isn’t you. It’s me. Let’s look at the year in review:. First, wasn’t hungry and went on a weight loss regime. Lost 6 pounds. Looked good, but didn’t feel happy. Went back to eating chocolate for therapy. I pay for it later at the dentist. Tried not inhaling, thanks to Mar.i.nol. That’s a pretty good story, actually. Have an emotional meltdown the night before the triathlon, feeling like a failure. A year w...

Tales of the Phoenix. Why I Want to Adopt. June 19, 2010. Do not attempt to adjust your computer screen. You are reading this right. I think I’m beginning to get used to this pattern. Just when I think the grief is resolved, it hits me again, when I’m least expecting it. Just when I thought I was over believing in miracle pregnancies, here I am, believing it might just happen for meagain. Denial. As Magic says, it’s his favorite river. Apparently, I’m fond of this river too. Sigh. 1 Genes do not make a f...

Tales of the Phoenix. Race Results…and Drama. June 6, 2010. Cowbells, marshmallows, and bacon. That’s what I remember from my first 10k run last week. First, the race drama. I rested two days before the race. That turned out to be a mistake. I was so wired the night before the race, I didn’t sleep well. I had to get up at 3am and do a workout just to get to sleep! I really liked the male belly dancer though! The marshmallow toss was somewhere around mile 2.2. I dodged them, and tried not to get a...Thoug...
