I have been reading your blog for a while now and just went through a miscarriage last week. It was my first pregnancy and my husband and I are trying to deal with all of the emotions that go along with losing a baby. I found myself re-reading all of your posts about Wren and it made me feel a little better seeing your beautiful family of 4. I think your blog gives people hope that, even though losses are terrible, horrible things, it does not mean that you will never have a baby. Just wanted to say thank you for sharing - it has definitely helped me over the past week.Brithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17774105554084120662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-79190914813597918622011-05-11T23:27:31.305-05:002011-05-11T23:27:31.305-05:00Julia I'm so heartbroken for you.

We found...I had an extremely similar experience... <br />We found out I was pregnant in the summer of 07'. I was only 22 at the time, scared and forced to grow up instantly, I told my family around the 8wks mark and slowly but surely everyone seemed to accept it. <br />As we prepared for our first ultrasound I was so excited! I had never seen what an ultrasound looked like and couldn't wait!<br />The night before I laid in bed with my boyfriend searching the internet for the perfect stroller. <br /><br />On what should have been the 10wk 5day mark of my pregnancy we lay in the doctors office waiting anxiously to see what our little one would look like. They turned on the monitor but there was no sound, as I said before I had never had an ultrasound and didn't know I should be looking for a little bleeping heart beat. The tech then brought in the OB to look with her and with sad eyes they turned to both of us and said they were sorry but they were only measuring a 9wk 2day old baby. <br />Immediatley my heart stopped, my mind was racing, but I was supposed to be almost 11 wks, what the heck were they talking about!? They explained that we had lost our baby and I was made, I felt betrayed by my body. I had no idea that the baby inside me passed away, my body gave no clues.<br /><br />I will never forget that horrible day or the D&C that followed, I was devasted, embarrassed anger and sad. <br />With time I been able to move on and heal. I have a loving family and thankfully a very healthy two year old.<br /><br />God bless you and your family during this trying time! You are all in my prayers!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17601116994788641598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-86597925313884870252011-05-09T14:07:55.509-05:002011-05-09T14:07:55.509-05:00I am so sorry about your loss Julia.

I would have a baby at the same time with you again. We are not sure what happened but my period that has been regular since forever, showed up finally 25 days late. We don't know what happened but I can only say I can't truly understand what you are going through other than a small tinge of what you are experiencing. My heart mourns with you and grieves with you and your family. We are praying that you are covered with "the peace that passes all understanding." I pray that this brings you closer to your family as you lean on one another. <3 Ya.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-46646628569218022912011-05-04T14:09:21.389-05:002011-05-04T14:09:21.389-05:00I am so sorry.

I appreciate your candor and beautiful writing style. I often refer family members to your blog when they need answers on breastfeeding and diapering and so on. You know it is like information from a dear friend mixed with humor and brutal honesty. I myself have had three miscarriages and KNOW that awful pain. So let yourselves heal and love,God,and time will help. I understand and thank you a million times for your honesty and help.

I have been a follower for years and often felt we were living parallel lives, as our life paths seems so similar. In addition to your friends and family you have many more blog friends who are thinking of you today. While your body was not ready to embrace this new life now, it will heal, maybe leaving some scars that will carry new meaning as you move forward. <br />((Big Hugs)) Hold those boys tights and appreciate the love that surrounds you!sunshinequeenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07528508409785045234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-63472695515395185702011-05-03T22:50:36.188-05:002011-05-03T22:50:36.188-05:00Julia,
Long time follower, first time commenter.
...Julia,<br /><br />Long time follower, first time commenter.<br /><br />Just as it seems as though words are not enough to express the profound grief you feel after a loss, there are no words that I can think of that could bring you comfort. Instead I offer two: Thank you. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing your family and sharing your loss with such eloquence. I too have recently experienced the loss of a bundle of joy that was set to arrive in November. The experience is difficult to describe to others - the emotional rollercoaster seems to dive and turn without warning. But, reading your post today somehow gave me hope. Because, despite all this sorrow, I know you'll be okay -- and, somehow, I know I'll be okay too.<br /><br />Take care of yourself. Wrap yourself in the love of your family as you heal. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.justmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17958545792567020142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-28337541018015380982011-05-03T22:44:08.117-05:002011-05-03T22:44:08.117-05:00I'm so sorry for your loss.
