bittersweet day

Exactly 1 year ago tonight was my ultrascreen ... The first time my little gummy bear of a Logan waved & wiggled on camera for me. Chat Icon Chat Icon

Also the 1 year mark of being told, "I'm so sorry, one didn't make it." There was 1 wiggly baby form, 1 still baby form. It was like a movie - my vision tunneled, my ears got hot. How could this happen? We saw 2 babies TWICE already! We heard 2 heartbeats for several weeks! I couldn't help but think it was my fault for being so sick. Couldn't help but feel like the most awful mother already. Chat Icon I was in a bad bad place that night and the days to follow, but every day since has gotten a little better. I dropped a little tear this morning when I was backing out of my parking spot and caught a glimpse of the carseat in my backseat, imagining there were 2 seats.

My little lovekin is now 24 weeks old and his new thing is "mamamamamamamamama". Chat Icon He's come a long way since his little wiggles. Chat Icon

I don't even know why I posted this. I don't expect anyone to acknowledge anything about today. I don't even think my husband remembers. It just feels better to get it out.

Re: bittersweet day

No need to apologize - sometimes we just need to share, to help us through the mourning process.

Re: bittersweet day

What a bittersweet day is right. You have such an incredible boy but it's still ok to mourn the loss of the one that didn't make it.

Logan is awesome! Look at how far you've come in a year.Chat Icon

Re: bittersweet day

awwww... that brought tears to my eyes. Even though you had Logan, it was still a loss to lose your other baby.

Re: bittersweet day

I bet you anything Rich remembers too. There is nothing wrong with grieving! You are amazingly blessed, but you've had a loss too. Never feel bad for remembering that other little angel, and for wondering what might have been. Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

I knew exactly what your FB status was about today but I wasn't sure if you wanted people to know or if it was supposed to be private.

Many hugs for you today! Chat Icon
