As some of you know, Eric and I have been trying for a child for over a year and a half. Last week, we were blessed with the news that I was 6 weeks pregnant, we were on top of the world. I don’t believe either of us had ever been that happy before. I couldn’t wait to tell all of BPO once we made it past the 12th week (1st trimester)…
But it was short-lived, on Sunday I miscarried…
We understand that a miscarriage is ‘nature’s way’, but it doesn’t make this any easier, for now anyhow. I suppose going through this now is better than dealing with a potentially very sick child after birth. But it’s still so very hard…
Eric and I have been leaning on each other, crying together, wondering ‘what might have been’ together, I know that we will get through this together. Kate has also been such a doll – it’s as if she knows. She will not leave my side, even when I go to the bathroom (nothing like trying to take a pee with her sitting right in front of you – staring at you in the face)
She is such a good girl and is definitely helping us get through this…Â
Of course we will try for children again, as soon as we can, but it’s still devastating. This has also affected our summer plans, as we are now most likely going to cancel our trip to PEI next month. I have always had trouble after flying, in regards to ‘woman issues’ (sorry all you BPO men). After flying, I most often don’t get a ‘that time of the month time’ for months following the flight(s). My doctor would rather I not fly, considering what my body has just gone through...Â
BUT - as much as 'most likely' having to cancel our trip sucks, Eric and I are surprisingly alright with it, as we both figure having some ‘just us time’ will be a good thing. We do still have 12 days booked off, so we may just pack up the tent trailer and go camping in BC or something, along with Kate of courseÂ
I don’t mean to rain on anyone’s parade, but wanted to let my BPO family know, as I haven’t been on much lately. I’ll be back soon, and periodically in between - we’re just trying to get through this for now.
Take care,
Kelly, Eric and Kate
