I am touched and so very glad to have another BLM here to bolster me and share in this mind boggling reality.<br /><br />This week was A's first birthday and I am naturally in a funk, but each time you commented here in Griefland, I got an email and it was exactly the quiet kind of support I needed.

I must apologise for only now realising that you wrote a blog... I'm reading the whole thing, and hopefully will be up to speed and by your side for the rest of this seemingly unending pregnancy.

January feels like an eternity away. I'm concerned about the challenges ahead, but seem like a day at the beach compared to your bed rest and "high risk" status. So glad to have you and the other survivor Mom's to walk this journey with. Lots of love to you and J during this most difficult time.Pieces of Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05246193199805990821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4529428189543496698.post-48880873129166310172012-07-09T16:40:41.058-07:002012-07-09T16:40:41.058-07:00You've worded the sentiment so perfectly.

Surely you have a different perspective. ;)<br /><br />You're very right about how difficult it is to do pregnancy and grieving simultaneously. Was skating along for a few weeks (read: not taking time to grieve) and then ka-bloowie huge breakdown and a low valley of depression. Surviving another 6 months feels near impossible. Thanks for showing me it is doable. Hang in there. You're so close to the finish line.Pieces of Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05246193199805990821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4529428189543496698.post-26224605051059325592012-07-09T16:26:37.995-07:002012-07-09T16:26:37.995-07:00Thank you Mama Bear.

In our case we had no choice but to tell our jobs straight away, and also the people closest to us because we will need their help throughout this pregnancy. But we also told ourselves that it's probably best that others know right away because we would need their support if things don't work out. But, like you, all I really want to do is announce the birth of a healthy winter baby. <br /><br />Congratulations to you and E. I'm sending so much love and hope and walking right next to you from afar.

I understand why you don't want to talk to anyone and - especially - why you don't want to hear some of the things you suspect people might say. People who haven't been through what we have really, really, really do not get it. Hoping, hoping, hoping for your little Dragon to grow and thrive and come out roaring, and for some peace for you along the way.March is for daffodilshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11287273786322029725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4529428189543496698.post-89314334690747726652012-07-08T16:53:38.511-07:002012-07-08T16:53:38.511-07:00Well dragons are great.
