This is a bittersweet day for me as it's the day my baby would have been due. I had a miscarriage on Christmas Eve last year. Let's just say it was a very painful experience as they misdiagnosed me at first and told me I lost the baby, only to find out two days later the baby was alive (via ultrasound) and then a week later it was confirmed I indeed had a miscarriage. I still have that image of the heart beating on the ultrasound in my mind. Usually I would not share this information in blogland but I feel I cannot ignore this day and not tell you about it....I know a lot of bloggers talk about "keeping it real" so this is what I'm doing with you today. I thought I was fine with August 2nd approaching until last night when I was finishing this quilt .... actually it was cathartic. Now that the tears have subsided, I want to focus on my blessings, which includes my husband, healthy 2 year old and 2 wonderful stepsons. I am pregnant again, 6 months this week, and our baby to be is due in November.
This is a happy quilt for my new little one but it's also for the one that is no longer here. Thanks for letting me share!
It's a beautiful quilt, for BOTH your beautiful children. Good luck with the final 3 months of your pregnancy!
ReplyDeleteOh Jody. We are going through this right now. I commend you for the healing project. I can't face that yet. Congratulations on the pregnancy.
ReplyDeleteWow, Jody. Thanks for keeping it real. I have had so many friends go through miscarriage (and other things) as well, and I know what a heartbreaking journey it can be. I'm really happy for you that another little one is due in a few more months, and this quilt will be not only a happy reminder of that but a precious comfort to you for the one you lost. Beautiful quilt!
ReplyDeleteOh, Jody. I'm thinking of you and am happy for you that you have a little one on the way. It really is a beautiful quilt to celebrate both of your babies.
