Consuming Thoughts.
How can something I have never met, felt, or touched consume my every thought? I think about the baby we lost 24/7. I know there is nothing that we could have done to prevent this loss but, I can't help thinking about every little thing I did during this pregnancy and wondering if in some way that caused this. I also have selfish thoughts when I see little babies or hear that others are pregnant... why do they get to have a baby, why don't I get to have my baby, what makes them more ready to be a parent than me, what did I do to deserve to lose this baby. The thought of being around someone pregnant and hearing all about how wonderful everything is, or seeing somebody with a tiny baby make me beyond sad and I avoid that situation at all cost and have a feeling I will continue to do so for quite awhile. It is not that I do not wish these people all the best but I can't let myself be happy about there baby when I just lost mine. My job has been very difficult this last week, in the fact that I take care of babies and wonder all the time why all these people were blessed with happy healthy babies. DO NOT get me wrong, I am grateful EVERYDAY that I have Jack, he is my world and without him I would still be laying in bed feeling depressed but, having Jack doesn't make it any easier of a loss. I know that we will be pregnant again, hopeful sooner rather than later and that we will give birth to a healthy happy baby but, baby number #2 will always be in my thoughts and the what ifs will always be there.

I am sorry Megs! I can only say that you are an amazing Mother and you will be blessed to have another baby in time! I love you!
I'm so sorry Meg. It's completely normal that your thoughts have been consumed by the loss of baby #2, it was a big event in your life. Love you.
I went through those exact same feelings. It was so hard to be happy for others when I was feeling so sad and angry and jealous. I couldn't understand why I had to have it happen to me. I still to this day am sensitive when the miscarriage date or the due date rolls around. It was really hard to be patient afterward but eventually it all worked out. Hang in there and take your time to get through it! Thinking about you!
