Yesterday was my man's birthday. I surprised him with his favorite cake, we ordered Sushi for dinner, and for his gift we'll be attending a dinner studio where you prep meals for a week, take them home and freeze them till they're ready to be eaten. He loved it all. :)
Sadly, yesterday also marked the day for yet another pregnancy loss. Not mine, but a friends. I'm beyond upset over the news as I'm beyond sick and fucking tired of the losses out there and, more importantly, sick of the fact that too many people are apathetic to an early loss because, well, it's an early loss and "you'll get pregnant again."
That being said, I've decided to start dedicating my pregnancy loss blog (at a different site) to really discussing early pregnancy loss - as opposed to expelling my personal issues and emotions. It's been nearly 4 months since my loss and I'm STILL DEALING WITH IT. Yet, I still have people - who know of my loss - come talk to me about their kids and what a hassle they are (for example) as if they don't realize that I would cut off my right arm to be in their shoes. It's mind boggling to say the least.
So yeah. That's my plan. To dedicate my blog to spreading the word that early pregnancy loss IS A LOSS and if I can share with ONE person how to be a bit more empathetic... if I can reach just ONE person who's suffered an early loss and thinks she's alone and something is wrong with her... then it will all be worth it.
