WW - Everything happens for a reason

Where to start.... I had a secret that I was going to share with everyone but sometimes life has a way of taking a different path.

I'll start with the fact that for the whole month of July I have been living on the couch; doctors orders. The reason..... I was very sick and had started to bleed; which isn't a good thing when you are pregnant. SURPRISE! Yep that was the secret that I was hoping to share. Don't celebrate yet.

Remember that whole life not always going as planned. Last week during my ultrasound we discovered that the pregnancy was nonviable. It was devastating but I didn't have time to do any crying because the next day I was running around getting everything ready for surgery. Only two days after finding out there was no longer a baby; I was at the hospital getting a D&C.

Now I'm sitting here... numb... but feeling so much better than I have the whole month. It appears that what we thought was the horrid morning sickness I normally get was actually my body trying to fight what was no longer part of me.

Today I'm going to sit on the couch and see what everyone has been up to for the first time in over a month. OH and thank you to all of you that sent emails. I am so sorry I didn't reply but this is honestly the first I have been on the computer for any length of time. So much to catch up on.

  8. Brooke, I'm so sad to hear this. I had a similar experience, and it's true that the initial medical emergency to yourself helps keep your mind off of what's happening at first. But I'm sending my hugs for what you've been through, and I missed you here in Blogland.

  14. I've been gone for way too long my dear. I was thinking about you while I was gone though. Is that funny, weird, or stalkerish since I have never technically met you? I promise, I am the good type of stalker! ;)

    I am SO very sorry for your loss hun. I know, from experience, how heartbreaking it can be. It's never easy, no matter what the "experts" say. If you need ears to listen to you vent, or well, read your vent, I am here even though I haven't posted in awhile. I hope you are at least feeling better physically. Take care my dear.
