Hi ladies!
There are so many new faces since I last posted here, so some of you probably wont recognize me. Those familiar faces that do recognize me, it's great to see you guys again! This wonderful group of ladies was what kept me going during my ttcal journey. It was so comforting to know I wasn't alone. My name is Kira and I was ttc my first for almost a year and a half after a heartbreaking loss of a pleasant surprise baby at somewhere between 4 and 6 weeks.
There were times when I felt so discouraged and like I would never have my rainbow baby. I would put one foot in front of the other and put on as happy of a face as I could muster, but inside I just felt empty. I couldn't hardly laugh or smile about anything. I survived it even though it was the hardest year of my life.
During the latter end of our ttcal journey, I stopped tracking my cycles. I stopped even paying attention to when my periods were. All that stuff was making me nuts. That's when it happened. As soon as I gave up and got used to the idea it would be while before we got our rainbow baby, I got my very sticky bfp and 9 months later had my daughter, Liliana, who is now 8 days old. I will never forget my Angel and sometimes I still cry thinking about what should have been. I know I'll see him again some day.
It will happen! Sometimes it takes that step back and to just let nature take its course. I know that's far easier said than done, but it did work for us.
Don't give up ladies! You guys can and will have your rainbow babies some day, too! I pray constantly for all of you.
