After three of my own, I consider myself an expert on the subject. Plus, happier things, like an easy Whole 30 recipe and Jeremy Allen White (you're welcome).
I know. I wonder if more women, especially those of us who have gone through miscarriages, were making the decisions that things would be a little different. I also have lots of hope in younger people doing a better job of figuring some of these things out.
I read that they vary the difficulty, instead of getting progressively harder. I never did get it yesterday, but my daughter didn’t have a wrong guess.
yes, we need to talk about this and do more. I get the "not feeling you are whole without the last baby". I knew I always wanted a third but with a traumatic accident and a child with a brain injury I didn't think it would happen. Then I had 2 miscarriages. The first was sad a devastating but I wasn't far along and we hadn't told anyone. The second, at 12 weeks, was heartbreaking for me and my husband, but also for my kids. We had just told them about the baby and then "it was gone". I woke up from my D+C crying. The nurse was so kind but maybe because I was nice and there was another woman in recovery who was carrying on. She told me to cry and let the emotions roll. It felt so validating. It is heartbreaking and rather than say anything others dont say anything which I find more devastating. We need to do more for our own daughters.
Kelly, you shared so much here but maybe the most powerful is, "We need to do more for our daughters." Thank you for sharing something so personal. *hugs* xo
I’ve had two miscarriages and one D&C. All of them were terrible heartbreaking experiences that left me reeling for months with the general feeling that I should just get over it. I too thought of the poor woman and can’t believe we’ve regressed so far with our reproductive rights. It’s devastating. Thank you for sharing your personal experience.
I love that I'm not the only one who consumes books in all forms, all at once! Maybe I had ADHD, too? Could be why I always have sooooo many tabs open at all times. And the miscarriages. I get this. All of this. My experience was traumatic, too and at times I'm grateful that I'm past that phase in life, but also so sickened that women who are in that phase of life are living in such fear. And then with the election coming up, I get even sicker because, well, can't even watch the news. But, Sopranos!! Yay!
We should be so much better than that. We need more women in government at every level. I also have lots of hope in the next generation.

I also exchange Connections scores everyday with my daughter.
I wonder if the game gets harder throughout the week, like their crossword puzzles do. Because yesterday's was SO HARD.

How dare she. ;)

Liz, it seems we have more than just a love of alcohol. Thank you for sharing your very personal experiences of heartbreak. I'm so glad you did. xo
