It’s been a while so while I am feeling too awake for bedtime, even though it’s nearly midnight, I thought I would jot a few lines down. Life has been up and down, I still shed a few tears over the miscarriage and what could have been, but for the most part have accepted it and am trying not to let it scare me off trying again (which we plan on doing when I get back from the USA in May). I’m scared as hell about leaving Ash and Amelia for 3 weeks while I jet off with my brother to have a holiday, and at times I feel like such a bad mum for doing it, and I know there are people out there who think it too but it’s booked and paid for now so no backing out. I know I will be on the phone home at every opportunity but I am looking forward to meeting some amazing friends I have known for 10 years in some cases. Work has been driving me crazy lately, I hate every moment I am in that building and count the minutes til I leave, but there is no good reason, there are no horrible people, no bad jobs, I just want out. So we started a business, and it is going well enough that I have requested (and just been approved for) a 4 day week. Starting slowly, but hopefully it will lead to NO more “working” for me soon, and eventually for Ash either. And at the rate mum is selling canvases – for her as well LOL. Amelia is moving ahead in leaps and bounds, she has learned to write her name in the last couple of days, which I am impossibly proud of and is recognising most of the other letters now as well. Such a clever chicken Well I am going to bed, have a happy and safe easter break all! Mwah.
You will never ever forget your baby. It’s been a little over a year since I lost my baby. I think about him/her daily. Just know this. God has something in store for you. I know it’s hard to hear, but knowing that the month my baby would have been born I found out I was pregnant again (this time without any medical intervention) is simply put a perfect example of His never ending love and grace. Don’t ever give up and don’t beat yourself up about it. Make sure you take time out for you! Blessings!
I am so so sorry about the miscarriage. You need time to grieve, my friend. We all grieve with you.
The trip to the States would do you good. You need a break from work.
Amelia and Ash will be just fine.
Sending you my love and positive thoughts.
