It wasn't supposed to be like this. I had come to terms in 2015, that a chemical pregnancy meant there was something wrong from the get go, that my body was helping me to not suffer by having a loss so early that only blood tests could confirm the pain and symptoms I had.

It would have been helpful if my cycles were a little bit normal. ... View the Post

When Mother’s Day Brings Memories, A Toast To My Mother #ButterMomUp

My Mom had been so excited, her boyfriend was going to take all of us, Mom, my family, and my sister and brother in law out to dinner to celebrate Mother's Day. Mom didn't make it. She told us to go without her. She ... View the Post
