Thoughts on Miscarriage...

I am suffering a second miscarriage. It almosts seems surreal because I didn't even know that I was pregnant. This makes it a lot easier than my last miscarriage in December 2006. That period was the darkest in my life. I knew I was pregnant and had already been making plans to have that special little child in our lives. I felt the loss completely--almost sinking into a depression.

Now that I know that I was pregnant, I feel a profound sadness. I also feel a degree of relief with the knowledge that the unexplained bleeding is not something life threatening or something requiring surgery. It is a small comfort.

So now, we will begin our lives anew. I still have hope to have more children join our family. I know that it is not something to take for granted; but is instead a wonderful blessing to hope for and take delight in...
