8 months

Today is 8 months since I birthed Jessica. Yesterday was 8 months since she died and also was her due date.
I wish I could post some beautiful sentiments about her, but right now, I just feel depressed.

This was the first month where the weekdays (Saturday and Sunday) aligned with the number days (12 and 13). I didn't even think about this, but it has affected me more....

On top of which I am sick (and rarely get sick). It's sunny outside finally (and 60 degrees) but I have been stuck in the house feeling sick and tired (haven't been sleeping again) and of course sad.

I guess this must be a milestone. But I don't remember anyone posting about it, and it just hit me, hard.

I had my seminar and I will post about that sometime, but right now, I can't.

I also ordered my first piece of dead baby jewelery today after finally finding something that I liked. I'll post pictures when it comes in a week or two.

And I am feeling really fat and wanting to be pregnant again....wanting to hope again..
It's hard to keep motivated on the weight-loss....15 more to go. How can i stay motivated? I'll just gain the weight back (but even I know that even when I watch my weight, I'll probably gain the same amount because I did the first two times)

Due to an error, I am also now the owner of toddler training underwear.....complete with pink and purple and flowers and princesses......
Dh said to just put them in the office, we'll use them eventually. To which I replied, "You don't know that"
to which he retorted, "Well, there's a 50/50 chance"

Did I mention all day I have been wanting to be pregnant? I've even passed by a mirror or two and held up my shirt and pushed out my tummy a little.

But there is no baby inside, just the healing stretch marks and loose skin..

I remember what it felt like so vividly. I love being pregnant. Every aspect of it...

Major hugs coming your way.

The month when the dates and the days aligned was tough on me too. For me it was 9 months, and it was generally a hard one to cross.
Here's hoping for better days ahead, and another pregnancy, right when you are ready.

I'm sorry you're having a tough time.. It's only been 3 miserable months for me so the time hasn't aligned yet...But I would say it is a milestone

I haven't found the perfect dead baby jewelery as of yet.. my first peice I want a locket so i can carry a lock of her hair with me..

I daydream about pregnancy all the time...i'm constantly going back and forth..I want to try again but i'm scared shitless...I know I can do this but maybe I can't ...'sigh'.. i'm thinking of you hon

So sorry you are feeling this way.

I think about being pregnant a lot. I remember the feeling. I even thought I felt a kick the other day, but that's impossible. I miss it so much and want it so badly. I want my baby more though.

Thinking of you.

I think they're all milestone every month. I hate it when the days fall like that too, I think that was 3 months for me, it seems worse somehow.
The old pregnant not pregnant mind job. It is so exhausting being pulled with these feelings constantly.
Thinking of you and Jessica x x x

They say that time heals. But we learn that it also inflicts its own kind of wounds. Thinking of you.

I'm sorry, those days are so very hard. It just makes you want to crawl under a blanket and cry. We are thinking about you. The time will be right soon.

Thought of you today and checked in on you to find you sad. Sorry about the milestone. Hoping your ultra-sad moment passes quickly.

I didn't get to experience several months of it, but I loved being pregnant, too. If you feel ready, you guys should give it a try again.
