Eyes Open

Well things sure are interesting being pregnant after surviving a 3rd trimester loss. Some days go by fairly quickly and other times it seems to be SO SLOW and that finish line just so far away. I really don't know how I am going to get through the many weeks ahead. I was reading that at this stage 26weeks 'babies eyes are opening' - how sweet, how amazing. And all I can think of is 'please stay open'. My dear friend K is 'getting her baby tomorrow' and I am SO excited for her. I just cannot imagine the anxiety to be that close. But it also gives me such encouragement to just plod along one day at a time and soon enough, hopefully it will be my turn, my happy ending.

I can only imagine how difficult the day to day is for you.

I am doing my 'homework' by following all of these subsequent pregnancies, and it hasn't been a cake walk for anyone! IT just isn't fair or easy, is it?

hang in there!

Yup, everything is forever changed. Even the ability to fully embrace a happy moment.

I'm waiting to hear on K. as well. Anticipation central over here.

I hope it is, too, Ange. I really do. XO.

It is tough. I'm now staring 29 weeks in the face and to be honest getting here from 20 weeks seems to have taken an absolute age. I'm finding it tougher to deal with rather than easier. Maybe because the end is closer now and I have no idea how this is going to end.
Everyone keeps asking me if I've got everything ready. I haven't even thought about it.

Hang in there, I can't imagine how you feel because the thought of getting pregnant terrifies me (yet I want it so badly too). Thanks for giving me hope and I'll be sending you lots of wishes for happy endings.

I so know how you are feeling. I was just lucky enough to have a Ob who was happy to deliver at 36 weeks (I then talked him into 35 weeks due to the fact he was going on holidays the week before my booked in c section). there is no way i could have mentally gone full term. my head just wouldnt let that happen.
Are you hoping to go naturally or are you having a c section??
