6 weeks, 6 days

For 6 weeks and 6 days I got to call you mine.
I made plans for you.
Wondered if you'd be a boy or a girl.
Imagined you with curly hair like your mama and blue eyes like your daddy.
I Pictured us as a family of four.
For 6 weeks and 6 days you made Jamie a big brother.
Every night he'd ask to read his new special book.
He'd carry your picture around, so proud of his little peanut.
He was convinced he was having a baby sister.
For six weeks and 6 days we celebrated you.
Shared the news.
Prayed for you.
Everyone was so excited.
You were so loved, even from the very start.
From the moment I saw those two little lines you were our baby.
Then as quickly as you came into our lives, you were gone.
Just like that as if you never existed at all.
I may never get to hold you in my arms, but you'll forever be in my heart.
You will forever be a part of our story.

I am so, so sorry. It seems we have had similar experiences, and it is truly, truly heartbreaking. The questions, and the unknown of why, and the numerous, numerous tears. I wear an angel on my bracelet everyday to remember my baby that most will never even know about. I can say though, that while it was absolutely devestating, I found comfort in friends and family and that this is much more common than I ever knew - and connected with people over this that I never knew had suffered. And when I was ready again, we again were graced with another miracle, and she is strong and perfect and due in 4 short months. Saying prayers for you and your family, but especially for you as no one else seems to feel the same amount of devestation.
