With this pregnancy and with Abby’s we danced around the entire month of December as if the floor was covered in eggshells. Our doctors and nurses did the same since it was easy enough to remember when Ethan had died - 3 days before Christmas.

I dread parts of December the same way you dread March. I am really trying to move past it because of the time of year when it hits me like a Mack truck, but it seems nearly impossible. It’s hard to feel joy and sadness at the same time, but somehow it’s possible.

*hug*

I am glad that you’ve found some positives in the aftermath. It certainly puts life in perspective. Sometimes it’s hard to see that silver lining when you’re in the middle of feeling like an elephant is standing on your chest, but it’s out there somewhere like you said.

Plus, March ain’t so bad, hell, I was born in March. ;)

I will go and vote, but I just wanted to tell you that my third child was a planned C-section (two previous C’s, they didn’t give me a choice), and I opted for the tying of the tubes right there while I was already cut open, and stuff. Painless, of course, since you’re already numb, and I think it took all of about 10 minutes. I would highly recommend it.

Such a beautiful post, I’m never good at finding the right thing to say but I especially loved this:

“There is a lot more patience there. A lot more perspective.” -

Which to me are such wonderful tributes to Jackson.

I think that part of my problem is that I haven’t had another baby since Matthew.
We’ve been thinking about it for a LONG time (It will be five years in September) but I have still come to no conclusions.

There have been some good things that have come out of losing him…I love how you said you hated the reason for the change but that the change itself was good. It’s a very accurate way of describing it.
