I know people blog during labor, but how many people blog during a miscarriage? Probably not a lot, I’m guessing. So I don’t think I will, either. (I usually open my mouth too early, speak without speaking, and say the wrong things anyway, so I will spare you all the wrath of my rambling…)
However. I think I have an answer and it’s not even Tuesday. And honestly? I’m thankful to have an answer. Just this morning I had dreams that the baby was ok, doing well, and I’d be puking in a few days. But really, I think, although it hasn’t started in full as of yet, that it’s finally something I can let go. And, like I said, I’m ok. Really. Thanks to you all, I love you, I appreciate your stories, I love that you read and care and send emails and cards and call me. I’m ok. I’m surprisingly relieved to have an answer.
And if you really want to know, I can update you. But so far, just a smallish amount of stuff and the impending cramping that is a sign of what is sure to come. It’s like Christmas, all the anticipation, minus the presents and the family and all the fattening food. Ok, I had pizza tonight and ice cream (because I’m pregnant, yaknow) so it’s a little like Christmas if you have pizza and ice cream on Christmas.
Which nobody ever does.
So it’s not like Christmas at all. In fact, it’s the anti-Christmas.

Glad you are possibly getting to the end of all this… (hugs) Here’s to a new start soon.
We’ll all still be here, whether or not you choose to write about anything.
**hugs**
Sending good thoughts and hugs your way this morning!
HUGS I’m glad this saga will finally be over for you, as difficult as it may be. I’ll be thinking of you.
You’re in my thoughts today, Les. We are all here for you.
I am sorry :(
My heart goes out to you. I’m really sorry you’re going through this.
Me too on the ‘thinking of you’.
You eat all the pizza and ice cream you want. Even for breakfast.
{{{{HUGS}}}} Take all the time you need to deal… we’ll be here.
Thinking of you hun! You mean you aren’t suppose to blog once a month? Sheesh where the hell have I been?
Oh that’s right - the damn fields. Hugs!
Oh honey…. it’s not gonna be pretty…. but I’m sure you know that.
Here’s the deal: Either you or hubby needs to go and get some overnight pads, so you have them when it really starts up. Not trying to freak you out, just want to give you a heads up. It’s like the heaviest period ever, and all at once.
Stay close to home for a few days, because, for me, the bleeding REALLY started while I was standing in line at the pharmacy waiting for my drugs, and lady, it’s amazing how much there is. I was panicked to rush and find someone to unlock the bathroom.
I was some weeks ahead of you when I m/c (I was supposed to be 12 weeks, but growth stopped @ 9.5 weeks.) So, it was a crazy mess.
Also, vicodin, just have your doc prescribe them NOW - you WILL need them!
Ok… enough with all that. Soon, it will be over, and the healing, and new start can begin. Let me know if you need anything.
Muah!

Forgot to add:
You are stronger than you know. It’s amazing to me how well you are coping with this. Really. You’ll come through and it will all be over soon.
Love to you & your family.

Thinking of you. Enjoy the pizza and ice cream every night. That is my philosophy!
