I feel so much better than I had. I feel like allowing myself those few days to really grieve and really let it out has allowed me to feel so much better. I am ready to move forward and start towards our family.
I found joy in pulling out my little baby blanket and knitting it this afternoon. I am determined now more than ever to press on. To keep a smile on my face and go forward pressing into the promises that have been given to me.
I feel like the best way to describe how I feel right now completely is acceptance. I have accepted that this is a journey and it is a tough one and an emotional one. And one that I will endure. I want to look back on this and see growth. I want to pull as much good out of it as possible. I'm excited to see what the future holds.
For one brief moment I was able to be pregnant to experience that joy. Even though I lost it and am so disappointed by it when the time comes and I experience it again I do not want to allow myself to to expect the same. I can not allow this to mar my future. For my next pregnancy will not be the same as this one. I will believe hope and pray for victory.
