Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

I had my first ultrasound last week at 10+ weeks. I wasn’t very excited about it for whatever reason, but my mom was very excited to see it, so I let her come with me. I think she was glad to be there ultimately, though the pictures revealed bad news. It turns out that I had a missed miscarriage. Though I was 10+ weeks, the embryo was measuring at just 7+ with no heartbeat. Naturally, I’m disappointed. But emotionally, I’m fine. Since most miscarriages in the first trimester are due to a chromosomal abnormality, I feel there was never a chance for our latest bundle of cells to become a baby. So I guess I don’t really feel like we’ve suffered a loss.
I opted to have a surgical procedure called a D&C two days after the ultrasound. For me, it was a good choice. It was quick, painless, and I’m not walking on eggshells anymore. We have to wait a few months before we can think about getting pregnant again, so I’m using this time wisely. We made plans to take the boys to Cedar Point for their birthday in June now that I can ride with them again. I’m focused on getting my body back to a comfortable summer size. And I’m considering raising a couple of hens, even though we still don’t know whether or not we’ll have to move. So, you know, life goes on.
I’m sorry to hear this news, but I’m glad that you’re doing well.
Your trip in June sounds like fun!
Sorry to hear the news.
It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
