16 weeks

I was hoping that this was going to be a happy post...today I am 16 weeks 4 days pregnant. Today was the day I was going to come out of the closet, so to speak.

I found out earlier this morning that the baby died.

Again.

I don't really have anything else to say. I think that the worst part is that I know what's coming. I know what's going to happen to me, to my marriage, to my family. Part of me welcomes it as if I deserve it...the part of me that knows that my body is defective in some way.

The rest of me is done, and really can't endure anything else.

  1. I am so, so sorry. My heart is just broken with you.

    Don't give up.

    I know it's completely different but regarding you being 'defective' (which you are NOT)I know how you feel. When we had to give up our foster daughter I had this overwhelming sense of not being capable enough or deserving enough. I was crushed. That statement in your post reminded me of how that felt.

    I'm praying for you. There's a light at the end of this tunnel.

  3. Dad says he is as proud as a father can be of his daughter, her children, her marriage and her life. There is nothing defective about you! Hug your kids, your husband and remember all the love the world has for you. I am so sorry for your loss.

  4. Aw, Allie.

    I don't have words to express how sorry I am to hear about your baby. So unbelievably sorry.

    Just for the record, I'm going to repeat what everyone here has said, even though I understand you're not ready to accept it: You didn't deserve this and your body is not defective. You have two gorgeous, brilliant daughters to prove the latter. I know that probably isn't a lot of consolation right now, but I hope you can accept that later.

    Take care of you. Please.
