“I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid." -John 14:27
Here's what's on my heart tonight:
It's been a rough month. (And not just this whole pregnancy thing - there are other factors that have made this a difficult summer.) I can't seem to go about things the "easy" way. The hyperemesis (morning sickness) was brutal. It was devastating, to say the least, that the baby had a slow heartbeat and we had to just sit and wait for the baby to die, which took another week.
After the baby no longer had a heartbeat 3 1/2 weeks ago, I took meds to induce the miscarriage to speed things along. 2 weeks later there were some complications (think: gross woman stuff), I was still so nauseous, and the pain was brutal. To spare you further details, I'll just say I ended up at my OB's office 10 days after the start of the miscarriage process.
