However you're feeling is Ok for you to feel. There is nothing wrong with it, nothing wrong with you. Sending you prayers for peace and acceptance.. <br />Jen from WoodburyJen from MNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05100122296328871446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926880480919201378.post-65346933358556435752012-02-12T08:07:40.035-07:002012-02-12T08:07:40.035-07:00I think what you've written is so insightful, ...I think what you've written is so insightful, I had several miscarriages as well as difficulty conceiving and each time I used to think if only I could get pregnant things will be ok and then when I did get pregnant I was consumed with worry. I'm really sorry you're having to deal with the struggle to breathe on top of everything else. I really hope your body gives you a little break soon and allows you to relax. In regards to your mind, well I'm certainly not going to say relax there because you are going through so much( as if you needed me to tell you that)- the constant missing of your little one , the excitement but still stress of your pregnancy, you must be so mentally exhausted. I just hope that somehow your mind will allow you a bit of piece, at least for a short moment so you can just be still.Seeing Each Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06469816981098332908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926880480919201378.post-67116839653929820222012-02-10T22:43:59.332-07:002012-02-10T22:43:59.332-07:00Oh, babe....
There are times when you'll want ...Oh, babe....<br />There are times when you'll want to sleep, and all they want to do is cry. There are times when you'll want to potty train, and nothing will motivate them. There will be times when you're doing laundry at 3am because they threw-up yet again. And, there will be times when you're having a bad day...a really bad day...and they will come up to you and let you know you're beautiful in the way only they can. There will be homemade valentines and Santa Claus, cookies with sprinkles all over the kitchen...cuddles, giggles, and movie night. There will be sadness, and there will be joy. There will be pain and there will be love. There will be a few pounds that are stubborn, but they'll finally come off. You're a mama again.The Corner of Inn and Sanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00879052277322049368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926880480919201378.post-16107396293727014932012-02-10T22:43:29.891-07:002012-02-10T22:43:29.891-07:00What a beautiful And truthful post about all the u...What a beautiful And truthful post about all the ups and downs of a pregnancy.

Its OK to miss your sweet Makenzie, its OK to wish she was here, and its OK to not like maternity clothes!! :D Honestly I don't really know if any of us feel very pretty when we are pregnant, its hard to when your in stretchy pants and big shirts lol.. You are just being normal girl! Don't get down on yourself for your feelings, really they are all normal. Makenzie herself is not looking for a replacement, this new baby is just adding to your already family. I know that when this new baby gets here you will find comfort and enjoyment about telling this little one about their big sister. It will most likely be one of their favorite stories for you to tell them. I think that is when you will heal some of your missing Makenzie pain. For the fact that you will be able to teach them about what an amazing strong girl she will always be. And they will love hearing about their angel hero.<br />A new baby will be an exciting adventure, I am so happy that you are expecting :DKennedy Klanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09539024384071181206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926880480919201378.post-88116443729776373052012-02-08T13:20:51.271-07:002012-02-08T13:20:51.271-07:00I also really enjoyed this post.

Part of me feels very cheated out of those "perfect" moments between 9-12 months. Even now that he is healthy and whole there are no "perfect" days, but I can tell you there are loads of perfect moments! Enjoy those! :)Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17195152724426311028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926880480919201378.post-73211006293551013222012-02-08T11:30:53.146-07:002012-02-08T11:30:53.146-07:00I’m in my first trimester too.. It’s not just you....I’m in my first trimester too.. It’s not just you.. it’s not easy. As excited as I am too have a new little one, being sick all day every day is depressing. So too is feeling fat and feeling not yourself. The long haul of 40 weeks looms ahead and feels so far away... will I ever not feel nauseated again ? I feel this way and I’m not grieving, so I know I don’t know how you feel. However, I say whine, complain, stay in pj’s all day whatever, just get through it, YOU CAN DO IT !Jeannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810995515588804067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926880480919201378.post-61529735336191478382012-02-07T21:53:21.214-07:002012-02-07T21:53:21.214-07:00You're going to make it...I can just tell. :)...You're going to make it...I can just tell. :) Praying for you always!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14097524245814056758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926880480919201378.post-70167211895287341302012-02-07T18:02:42.147-07:002012-02-07T18:02:42.147-07:00Having another little baby won't make you miss...Having another little baby won't make you miss Makenzie any less, it will just help you not miss being a mom. Does that make sense? I found out I was really grieving over two different things. Hang in there, the nine months will be rough, but when that little peanut is put into your arms, you hear it cry, man, it's life changing all over again. And there's no doubt in my mind, Makenzie will be there in the hospital room, loving every second watching you and Ryan rejoice over becoming parents again. She'll love seeing both of your smiles again.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17807238490395570269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926880480919201378.post-2931544991549237092012-02-07T14:41:06.281-07:002012-02-07T14:41:06.281-07:00Even though my trials are nothing compared to your...Even though my trials are nothing compared to yours, I feel the same way.
