Parents of lost babies and potential of all kinds: come here to share the technicolour, the vividness, the despair, the heart-broken-open, the compassion we learn for others, having been through this mess — and see it reflected back at you, acknowledged and understood.

ttc | pregnancy | birth after loss > Baby arrived!

Hi all
Just to let you all know that my second daughter arrived safe and sound last week saturday.She is gorgeous. Perfect. An absolute delight. I have had many sad moments in the past week - Once I called her Sophia by mistake. Another was when I bathed alone (ie without her in my belly) for the first time in so long. I think having her here makes me miss Sophia all the more. That is reality and i'm not sure I'd want it any different.
But I am so grateful and so in awe of this little one too. What a blessing.
My prayers are with all of you TTC and currently pregnant. It's the hardest thing you'll ever do but so so so worth every fear, every nightmare, every sleepless night.
