"Falling in the black, slipping through the cracks, falling to the depths. Can I ever go back? Dreaming of the way it used to be. Can you hear me?" --Skillet
In the past month and a half, I have heard of at least 6 pregnancy announcements. I'm thinking that I've heard of more, but I can only recall 6 of them. I am usually OK with the announcements, though I can't say that any of them come with extreme excitement on my part. I just kind of accept them. Two of the announcements are from ladies who had babies around the time Mercy would have been born. This bothers me in particular because I was always the one making an announcement when my baby was 2. Also, their births were especially hard for me back then because I was grieving the loss of my 2 babies.
I was listening to the Skillet song on my daughter's ipod on Friday and the words struck me because I could relate to them so well. It's an awesome song anyway...
Rock on,
Paula

Hi Paula,
This is me Miscarriage Journal, popping by on my other blogger acct.
I really needed to read this today. I had a friend tell me she was expecting yesterday, and I was feeling bad that I was not jumping for joy about it.
Glad to know, someone else feels sort of bla about pregnancy announcments too.
Thanks....hope you and the kiddos are well.
MJ
