Miscarriage | After the Alter

Don't Forget to Enter!

I am not big into gambling or anything, and I have no idea if the number 7 is in fact lucky, but for the sake of sanity, I have decided that it IS lucky! What am I feeling lucky about you ask? Well my 7th month of TTC of course. Yup, unfortunately month number 6 was a [...]

Remembering Happiness Trumps Sadness

I am sad…I will admit it. I have been working so hard at staying positive and being happy, but sometimes the sadness creeps in and there is nothing I can do. This week has been hard. It’s really hard knowing that had everything gone right I would be getting ready to meet my [...]

Sucker Punch to the Gut

Probably most people wish exciting things would happen, and I am no different than most. But no matter what the fact still remains that I am feeling restless, and I [...]

Our Loss: Now Truly Over

I am finally at peace…well sort of. My husband and I went to the doctor yet again yesterday. We entered knowing that either way the physical aspects of this pregnancy would be over. One of Two things could happen…I would have a sonogram and the medicine would have worked and the fluid would be gone…or [...]
