This morning we found out that we have lost our baby. It has been rather shocking as I was almost 16 weeks along and well past the "worry" stage of a miscarriage. But for some reason the little person inside of me passed away a few weeks ago and the placenta and uterus continued to grow. That's why I've had no signs or expectations of a miscarriage. I guess it's pretty rare, but does happen sometimes.
Nothing about the process of motherhood seems to be easy or expected. But I'm grateful still, to be a woman and to have the gift of motherhood bestowed upon me. I'm especially grateful for the little girl that I get to hang out with everyday and who has continued to make me smile despite the sadness I feel inside. She is my angel.
