You've Got to be Kidding Me

Everyone told me that once we adopted a child, we would get pregnant.

Everyone was right.

What nobody predicted, however, is that we would be saying good-bye before we even knew to say hello.

In my opinion, a miscarriage is a fucked up way to find out you're pregnant.

After cramps, lower back aches, and bleeding, I took a pregnancy test to find out that, yes, I technically still have levels of HCG in my body. But all the other symptoms inevitably mean that the baby is already gone.

But listen, I have a child that I'm terribly in love with - I'm so honored to be his mother. I know how lucky I am. Life is still amazing.

And I'm ok. Really.

I've been reading your blog for about a year thanks to a link from Heidi. I've never met you, but that doesn't stop me from crying as I read about your loss. I'm so, so sorry.

What a cruel thing to happen, Erin. I've lost two, and it never gets easier. You accept it, and you move on, but it never gets easier.

I'm so sorry, Erin.
