Really?

I only have one picture of our baby. I miss having her around. I think I’m okay, moving on as only one can, one day at a time. I’m thinking about the next baby, and how this little one won’t be replaced or forgotten. I just hope I get to hold the next one in my arms. I hope I won’t begrudge a minute of our time together…

Really? Is this all I have of her? It seems like a dream; one that never really happened; whether a good or bad ending.

Everyone else gets to post their pictures. I won’t affront my friends on facebook, but I feel like she deserves to be shared and seen. She was perfect, except for her broken heart, and now mine is…

She was just shy of 7cm from crown to rump at 14 weeks. She would have fit into the palm of my hand, perchance.

I hope this post doesn’t offend anybody, but I feel like this annonymous space is where I can share this picture, now. I don’t begrudge anyone happy pregnancy news… so let me share mine, too, even if it was only short lived joy.

You can thank the red wine for this post.

PS- the word verification for this photobucket was "regret"… oh internet irony, you suck.

I’m so sorry. Did you have a name selected?

I’m so sorry for your pain, I hope that you are blessed with another healthy baby and i know that your first will never be forgotten. No mother ever forgets her loses.

*hugs* You absolutely have as much right to share your pictures as any other mother… she was beautiful and to me looks just perfect. I do wish another baby for you, but to me you are already a mother after having gone through such a heartbreaking loss. *big hugs*

This is the opposite of offensive. She is your baby, and you are allowed to remember her. *hugs*

she’s beautiful. treasure anything and everything that makes you think of her – regardless of whether or not it offends people. she’s your baby, whether she’s here or not, and you’re allowed to love and cherish her and let people know it!

Dreaming of More

I’m really sorry. Don’t be embarrassed to show her picture, she was and always will be your daughter. Stay strong, and know that your next pregnancy will be a good one.

Thanks for sharing the picture of your beloved little girl. There’s nothing wrong with that at all. Thinking of you lots and sending hugs.
