Now for the sad news...

Well now that I've gotten the fun stuff out of the way with pictures from our trip, I will share our sad news...Last week I suffered a miscarriage. I was about 6 1/2 wks. pregnant and had scheduled to go in for a regular checkup before we left for our trip to Florida. So when I woke up Tues. morning (which was the day of my appt) I started spotting. I immediately knew something was very wrong. I know that can be common for some women during pregnancy, but my 1 experience with this before resulted in a miscarriage. I had one before I got pregnant with Mia and then had never had any spotting with my other 2 pregnancies. I still went in to see my doctor and he confirmed that I had lost the baby. I was heartbroken. We all felt like it would still be the best thing for us to still go on our trip to FL. We had already bought plane tickets and I felt like emotionally it would be good for me.

I think the thing that has been the saddest for me in it all was how excited Mia was about it. That's all she talked about for the few days that she knew. It was interesting because she didn't say anything about it for the past week so I was sort of hoping that she had forgotten about it. But then she came up to me yesterday and asked me if she could kiss my baby in my tummy. I was so sad...

It's like my doctor told me though, I am so very lucky that I can get pregnant so easily. I got pregnant the first month we were trying. And as he was telling me, he sees tons of patients every week who are facing infertility and all sort of other issues, so for that I am thankful. I'm choosing to look at it positively and say it could have been worse. I could have been further along before losing the baby, or not been able to get pregnant at all etc...

I have to say this loss has been a little easier to deal with because of having Mia and Averi. We are so blessed to have our 2 precious girls and I know that in His time (not mine), we will God-willing have another one.
