Just look at the little bug! I truly am happy for you. I really hope that this pregnancy AND delivery end with you at home with a precious little brother or sister for Hope... I'm here..
thought i'd pop in to see if there was any news and sure enough you got a smile out of me! i'm right here with you and can empathize with the crazy ride you're on right now. I'm 18 weeks ahead, but can't believe how quickly the days/weeks/months are passing. I almost believe in "when" ...
I just started reading your blog. I am hoping to be in your shoes soon and your story gives me hope. :) I had a loss at 18 weeks in January, surgery in March and am able to try again this month.
Congratulations! I'm sorry to hear of the lose of your baby, Hope. I hope you can find the strength and gentleness you need to get through this next pregnancy in whatever way you need!
I know you'll have lots of support keeping you afloat.
i've recently found your blog - i, too, have embarked on a pregnancy after losing my daughter, my first last year.
the mix of hope and fear and grief - and especially the dread of other people's expectations and insensitivity - it's all kept me in hiding for the past... 29 weeks. though admittedly, the jig is starting to be up and more and more friends are in on it.
i'll be reading and supporting and hoping with you.
My first child, a little girl we named Hope Angel, was born sleeping after a robustly healthy pregnancy at 40 weeks and 5 days on Tuesday 19 August 2008. She was 8 pounds and perfect, but didn't arrive in to our waiting arms breathing. My second child, a gorgeous little boy named Angus Leo, was born alive and well on Tuesday 17 November 2009. We were then blessed to welcome our third child, a beautiful little girl named Juliet Lily, the day before Hope's third birthday, on Thursday 18 August 2011. I love all three of my children desperately but my heart aches for the absence of my first little girl who got away. This is where I try and make sense of it all.
they are beautiful shots, flower is just a little pod at the minute and little flower is growing every day...

ReplyDeleteSorry, hope that wasn't inappropriate!
It's a great shot Sally, you can the baby quite clearly, which is rare for these earlier scans (at least the ones I've seen)
Keep 'em coming, can't wait to see belly shots XXX
Aw sweet little flower. Hang on in there and keep growing for your mommy. Stay strong.
