Aaron and I had a miscarriage with our first pregnancy, too. It was an early one, and I think the hardest part for me was letting go of all the excitement I'd been feeling about telling my parents the good news. I'm 24-weeks pregnant now, and let me tell you, when I reached that same week in this pregnancy that the first one miscarried, I was a nervous wreck! We were cautious about this pregnancy until 12 weeks, telling each other not to get too excited in case "the new tenant doesn't decide to sign the lease." But happily, history doesn't always repeat itself, and I hope that'll prove true for you two, as well.<br /><br />Wishing you the best,<br />MeghanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6395328478804951906.post-46770308651637962732015-04-01T17:27:52.093-07:002015-04-01T17:27:52.093-07:00Thanks for sharing your beautiful poem, Mel.
