The hope of pregnancy, of course, is to have a baby. That part, I'm happy about. But when I found out I was pregnant, I started crying, and I kept crying for much of the day. All day I felt a sense of loss. In the end, assuming everything goes well, I will gain a baby. And that is amazing. But when I first found out about being pregnant, all I could think about was the loss that comes with being pregnant. Things that I'd have to give up kept popping into my head all day.
I was cleaning my sister and brother-in-law's bathroom, and as I cleaned the mirror, I kept noticing the body that I'm in. And once again, I felt a sense of loss. I feel more prepared to have another child than I do to lose the body that I'm in and to deal with how hard pregnancy has been for me in the past.So, while I'm still feeling good, I will enjoy that.
Yay! I love this idea of documenting each day. I'm excited for you but I get all those feelings you are having. I love you and my new little niefling (is that what it is called?)
ReplyDeleteI was pretty much going to same the same thing. I think this blog will be great for all of us--We will be able to keep up with all that is going on, and the fact that you are writing about your feelings I think will be helpful for you to process them!
ReplyDeleteMa- is that you? I think I was logged into your computer- it's saying I made that comment. (-:
ReplyDeleteI was trying to figure out what was going on. I thought you were telling me that writing my feelings out would help!
ReplyDeleteYes, Melissa that was me. I didn't even realize it was coming as you. I hope Dad can figure it out because I want to be able to keep up with the blog. I think it is ok now.
ReplyDeleteP.S. This was Friday
