morning ladies, hope you are your babies are well!
Sadly I am going to have to leave you guys, this baby changed her (!) mind and decided to go back for a while. On Thursday I woke up and just new that I was not pregnant any more, my boobs had completely deflated and just didn't feel pregnant. My doctor in Lagos confirmed that it had ended when I feared it did.
I was devastated, we both were, but we are ok now. If it is not meant to be it's not meant to be and I'm glad it ended now and not two months down the line. We'll start trying again with some extreme bonkin over the holidays (with a house full of relatives... interesting). It was good to be where we were - I find the sea very grounding. No surf & wind to speak of but lots of sandcastles with ds and walks on the beaches.
2005 has been a very funny year for me. In April I ended up in hospital with a blood clot in my lung, which stopped me in my tracks - possibly fatal had it not been caught early and apparently I am lucky to be here. We had just started trying for baby no 2 but I was put on anti-coagulants for 6 months that would have crossed the placenta so had to postpone. And now this mc. Two events that were different but I think occurred to tell me the same thing - that life is very very precious, it is a miracle, and that you should make the most of it and appreciate it in all its complexity. Me and DH had long talks over some delicious local wine and made plans to do exactly this - including working less, doing more fun things with the family, kitesurfing more. And getting out of London!!
I hope you'll have easy pregnancies, I'll keep an eye on this board to see how you girls are doing and will be checking for birth announcements in August! Big love & hugs
