The Only Way Around is Through

Over the last nine years, I've had eight pregnancies. Two ended in the births of my daughters, Lily (8) and Ella (5). Five have ended in losses between 5 and 16 weeks. Chemical pregnancy, miscarriage, missed miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, and late miscarriage are all part of my history. Finally, my 8th and final pregnancy, brought us our baby boy, Will, who has Down syndrome. With the loss of Olivia at 16 weeks on October 5, 2014, I turned to writing as a way to work through the challenges.

The Snoogle is shoved under my bed

My maternity clothes are thrown to the top shelf of my closet

A box of baby samples is in a corner of the nursery toy room closet

If I hide all these things can I forget about them? Someday will we get to bring them out and use them?
