Pregnancy After Loss (March)

Until yesterday.
He came home from work and said "It's March." I said "Yeah". He said "That means next month is April." I said "... yeah". He said "That means it's really close to baby time. It's coming in April! Only next month!"

I told him I've known this for weeks and that's why I've been out of sorts, worrying, lol.

Other than that, though - we're doing good. Got 4 new diapers for Hiccup - arrived today Bonus, they gave me a gift of a pair of bamboo nursing pads !!
And I just bought a couple wet bags yesterday from Sarah.
There's not too much we need at all, just a few tidbits, kwim? I did order myself some new pj's (DH keeps teasing me about my Grannie nightie ) and a couple nursing bras today - those should be here next week.


Honestly, I still have moments, too, where I think "Yes, I'm pregnant. I know Hiccup is fine, kicking and moving around in there... but we're not going to actually bring home a baby... so none of the crap around here matters." I hate those moments.

Thanks for sharing that, mamas! When it hits me I feel so guilty, like I'm doubting Hiccup all ready or something, and I feel like noone could ever feel that way about their baby.
I can picture going through labor, and birthing Hiccup... but then all I can picture is leaving him in a basket and walking out of the hospital without him.

It's not an always present feeling, but just comes over me from time to time - I'm sure it's how the grief is taking form right now.
I just can't seem to think ahead to birth and see us holding a crying Hiccup. I want that so badly.

I think we all have those moments, which is why I'm thankful for this thread. Even though all my losses happened in the first trimester and I am now in my 3rd, I still find myself panicking a little when I don't feel baby move for a bit. I had though about selling my doppler a while back, but decided against it. Glad I did, as I've used it a couple times in the last few weeks. I'm looking forward to starting my weekly NSTs soon.
