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.

What Should Have Been

October 30, 2014

Tonight would have been the 20 week appointment. We would have rushed from school to see Dr. L and hear your heartbeat. Then we would have rushed back home to trick or treat with your sisters. How I wish that were still our plan and that at this moment I could be anticipating that appointment. Instead, today marks four weeks of desperately missing you.
