Roller coaster

And that's how it goes in the life of a DBM*.

Up.

Then down.

Then up.

Then down.

High on top of the world one minute when you're feeling confident in the future, then completely gutted the next minute when you read about it happening for a second time to someone else.

Today should have been the first day of my third trimester. I should be huge. I was already huge! I should be huge-er. I really, really miss being pregnant. I really, really hate milestone days like this. I really, really hate that I still have these days in my head and that they're still marked on my calendar (even though they're scratched out...I still know what is under those heavy pen marks). I should make it through the rest of the summer without a date like this slapping me in the face; other than Caleb's due date this was the last big milestone.

Up.

Then down.

  1. Oh sweet Lara, you are an inspiration on the our bump loss board, but we all know that those downs are so low and they get the best of us. I am so sorry that this day is so hard, hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. I wish I knew the future and that I could see all of us DBM's with squealing babies in our arms. Not that it will take away all our pain, but from what I hear it does heal wounds. I am thinking of you today.

  3. I cannot agree with you more. This is all we have left now, are the dates that we were looking forward too. It's hard to be a part of the DBM club. Can't do much about the bad days, but on the good days, try to cherish them as much as you can. We are here for you!

  4. I'm still on the rollercoaster...have been for 22 months...We lost our daughter at 23 weeks and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of how my life should be today...

    So sorry for your loss ((Hugs)) from one dbm to another...

  5. I really wish we never came on this ride, and i hope that it'll end soon... although i know it wont. I just try to keep the faith that we are strong enough to endure the ride.
