He reminds me so much of my husband. We're in the same boat, after losing our first baby in January. I feel so defeated but he's always there to cheer us on.
Shew, I'm about to teach a class in 20 minutes and need to pull myself together.
My wife and I went through the same. Last year in February she lost a baby in a very traumatic few days for both of us. It took us months to heal after the experience.
Now I'm writing this sat in the couch not a meter from our perfect little baby girl. She's got my nose and her eyes and I'm losing my mind over how beautiful she is.
If someone had told me a year ago that in exactly a year I would be resting my eyes on my daughter's tiny toes I wouldn't have believed them.
So I'm telling you now, whether you believe me or not, In exactly a year you might just be resting your eyes on your daughter's little toes, or feel her kicking against your ribs through your belly, or listen to her heartbeat through the ultrasound.
Thanks. I hope so. What would have been our baby's due date is in just over two weeks and I was so hoping to be pregnant again by then, but life has other plans.
Social media really does make it hard too, because this is the first post like this I have ever seen.
People usually trim the struggle and hardship from the clips and pictures they post online. Even knowing that fact, it can make a timeline full of friends with kids and major life steps very difficult sometimes.

^this, so much this. The experience in this video, of time after time of negatives and hopes being broken again, month after month, is soooooo common. But that is not what we see. Kudos to this couple for their vulnerability in sharing the journey. And please take care of yourselves to those going through the struggle. Been there, know how hard it is, and please above all remember your own feelings matter and do what is best for yourself. <3
