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.

Choose To Dance

December 14, 2014

"I may not be able to choose the music, but I can choose whether I want to dance."

Making my family has certainly not gone as expected or desired. I wouldn’t wish this past on anyone. But this quote says it perfectly. This isn't the song we would have chosen. It isn't the artist, or genre, or even the station, but we still choose to dance.
