new here, anybody else expecting a rainbow baby?
| Mon, 01-30-2012 - 5:45pm |
Honestly it's kind of hard for me to be here. I was a frequent lurker last year when I was expecting baby #4, but I haven't really been back because my son died the same day he was born.

Julianne,
Thank you!
Yes Infant loss is suprisingly common, far too common if you ask me. (In a perfect world it shouldn't happen at all!) This may sound stupid, but I never thought it would be me. Even though you know it's possible when your pregnant, you don't really think about it. That's something that happens to somebody else
Thank you Caroline,
I am so sorry that you lost your little boy. This is something no parent should have to experience.
Wow 4 weeks later! I got pregnant 10 months later, and it was still hard. (although it doesn't really matter how much time passes, it's always hard!) Do you find yourself getting more nervous as your due date approaches? I definately do! But I'm not so much nervous about a bad outcome, (I'm suprisingly calm about that) I'm more nervous for the rollercoaster of emotions that I know is headed my way. I'm happy and excited, and I know I'll be overjoyed, but at the same time there's this piece of me thats sad. Nobody wants to be sad on the day thier baby is born, but I guess thats just the way it is. While it's nice to know that someone else knows how I feel, at the same time I'm sorry that it's you. (or anybody for that matter)
I know that the delivery will be hard, i've tried not to think about it too much. I will be at the same hospital, and this one will be born less than a year since the last one. I already feel like I'm just "replacing" the one that we lost, which really hurts, but I try and stay positive and think of how happy our DD will be to have a baby sister.
i have to say im glad about these boards so u ladies can help one another... So sorry for your losses and congrats on your rainbow april babies!
Caroline,
