As of this Saturday, we are officially past all three of our previous due dates. The only one left is the one for the twins, which is hopefully going to bring a much different outcome. Since the passing of this last due date, I've been having a really hard time. No one else remembers that I should have a baby in my arms today. Everyone else seems to think that these precious twins have somehow "fixed" the past. As you all know, a healthy baby (or babies) does not make the ones you lost any less real.
We are 30 weeks today. 30 weeks. So grateful.
You are so right - a healthy baby does not replace those that were lost. I think unless you have been through that you can't really understand it. Congrats on reaching 30 weeks!
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts are with you at this bittersweet stage of life. Nothing will ever replace the loss of baby.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your losses but I am so happy that you have made it to a new stage- 30 weeks is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI agree...nothing will ever "fix" the past.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on reaching 30 weeks!
It would be a hard day to digest. But I am so glad your little nuggets are staying strong! I can't believe we are having twins!
ReplyDeleteI completely agree. I'm thrilled that I have a growing baby in my belly, but she doesn't fix the past, and my longing for her two younger siblings. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteYou can never forget the past...and I am so sorry for your losses. How exciting to be at 30 weeks. I was sitting here reading this and thinking I thought she was really close to me in pregnancy but she's already 30 weeks. It just hit me like a ton of bricks that I am 28 weeks...as in 2 weeks away from 30 weeks. It seems like such a huge milestone!

ReplyDeleteSo excited to be where you are, 30 weeks is great! You are right, they will bring happiness, but they won't take the hurt from the losses away.
ReplyDeletethinking of you... so bittersweet
