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.

Not the Only One (Irrational 4)

January 24, 2015

I’m not the only irrational one. My mom has revealed to me that she will never go to a certain frozen yogurt shop again and will even give away the gift card she still has. (If you know my mom, that’s serious commitment!) We announced our pregnancy that ended up being ectopic at that yogurt shop. Then, we ate there about a week before losing Olivia. She’s done with it. Luckily there are frozen yogurt stores on just about every corner!
