Thanksgiving Morning I woke to symptoms of a miscarriage. David and I knew it was going to happen we just didn't know when. We tried to make the most of Thanksgiving, thinking when it happened we would deal with it then.
Friday morning at 3:30am I was awakened by extreme pain. I knew it was time. Over the next hour or so we lost the baby. We know it happened for a reason. Better this than further into the pregnancy, or for something to be wrong, and the baby not healthy.
We are thankful for the child we already have been blessed with. We are thankful the miscarriage happened on a long weekend- giving us time to adjust, and deal with our emotions. We are thankful for our friends and family who have been very compassionate.
This isn't the end, only the beginning. Someday we will try again. For now we can have more one-on-one time with Elias, I can work on being healthier, and we have time to prepare for adding a second child to our family.
