Somehow We Overcome

I don't know what compelled me to get back onto Blogster today...I was thinking I would check up on some of my favorite blogging people and not do any writing myself...but here I am.

It's been a rough fall. I haven't blogged in almost two months...
It's hard to write when your heart aches and you just don't have any words to say - don't want to hear advice - and even sometimes don't want to see your friends. Life throws you some hurdles.

I lost the baby when I was thirteen weeks pregnant. That was about a month ago. I'm not going to go into details, but it sucked. It was horrifying and sad, and I would never wish what happened to us on my worst enemy. You never really expect rare things to come up or complications to happen to you, but sometimes they do. And I happened to be one of those people.

The whole three months was really trying...I was SO sick the entire time, I just really wasn't myself. Right about the time I thought I would be turning the corner and heading into the "good" part (i.e., not so sick part) of being pregnant, boom, this happens.

Anyhow...it's been a month. I am re-focusing my energies and life, grateful for my beautiful and healthy boy, thankful I have a husband that can help carry me over these hurdles, and still at the same time there is a small part of me that hurts and I'm sure that won't stop any time soon. So, as I wipe away the tears on a day that has been somewhat an emotional one, I wish you all the best - those of you that make a moment to read this - and hope this post finds you all well. I've missed reading about your lives.
