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.

Returning Routines

December 21, 2014

There was a day a few weeks ago when I looked around and realized that we had finally made it back to our routines. We are actually planning and cooking meals. We are holding our kids accountable for their chores. We are running and (mostly) maintaining our household. And this combined with the craziness of December feels like a pretty big victory.
