So, I've totally been neglecting my blog for the past week for several reasons... First of all it's been really busy around here. I've also thrown myself head first into researching this MTHFR gene mutation that I have (you can read about that here, if you haven't already). Next the topics this week were kinda tricky and many were things I haven't quite delved into... After all it's only been two months (which sometimes feels like just yesterday and sometimes feels like a LIFETIME ago)! And lastly I've just been in a place where I felt like I needed a break... from talking about it... Well, anyway, I'm back, and today's (actually yesterday's, but that's where I'm starting) picture/ theme is "Do you have a piece of jewellery in memory of your baby? Or maybe a tattoo?" Well, the answer is Yes, I do. It's not much, and I have some other things in mind that I'd like to get, but for now I have a simple but beautiful necklace that I got from an organization called August Wings. It's a broken heart and has Gabriel's name stamped into it. Kinda symbolic, don't ya think? I wear it all the time. While it's by far not a good substitute for having him, it is something I can have with me even though he isn't.
At 17 1/2 weeks of pregnancy I began to suspect something was wrong. The next day, at my Dr.'s appointment, my worst fears were confirmed. They couldn't find my baby's heartbeat. This was the beginning of a journey that we were NOT expecting. This is an account of my journey, both to help me continue with my life & to remember my little angel, Gabriel. I also hope to be able to give some insight and encouragement to those going through a loss, like others' have helped me!
