Hello everyone. It's been a little while since I posted last. DH and I have begun the process of adoption officially and are reconsidering eventually trying again for a biological child as well. It's been a rough few months with two miscarriages so close together, but we are healing. However, as I near the original due date of our first angel (Scout) I find myself thinking of the baby I never got to meet a little more often and saddened by these thoughts. We are trusting in God to get us through this time, but wanted to share with all of you our struggles as it seems to help to post here. Sorry if it seems like I'm rambling...this all caught up to me as I realized we were entering the month that scout was supposed to be born...thanks for listening.

Hi Jessi,
I hear you. It's difficult to deal with all these things at once. We too are looking in to adoption. We're still TTC. I still think about the baby we lost. I know we won't ever forget even as we feel joy at the arrival of our future children (adopted or biological). Somehow we are capable of feeling exited, fearful, sad, etc etc all at the same time. I hope every thing works out for you. Good luck!

Jessi,
I understand. My due date would have been a little later this month, and there are days when it hits me really hard.
It is a struggle, but just take it day by day.

hi ladys, it is hard and you will never forget the dates but it does get easier with time... it's been almost 4yrs since i lost my first baby and i still remember it like it was yesterday, i remember the song that was playing as i walked out of the doctors after they told me there was no heart beat.."had a bad day" what a song... every time i hear that song i turn up the radio and cry... then i think if the past had changed i might not have my baby girl so as painful as my two losses were if they brought me her it was worth it...i'll never forget and i will always wonder what if but it's made me appreciate every second with my daughter that much more. i pray you don't have to wait 3 years like me but remember no matter how long it takes it will be worth it in the end...

Jessi,
My heart breaks for you, as an EDD is so difficult. I faced mine in December and the days leading up to it were trying. However, I made it through, with the help of some amaxing friends. I took that time to honor my child and did some things in Christian's honor...it felt so good :)
Much Love to you and many prayers...I'm also praying that you hold an Earthly baby in your arms very soon. Please keep us updated on your adoption process, as its a beautiful gift :)
