For days and days I held it and cried. I wanna cry just thinking of it. My prayers are with you, I know in February I'll be the same way when my sister in law delivers..she is due a couple weeks from my due date as well! <br /><br />Thinking of you!Betsy Wellmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07884321986039520326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9120089838687161782.post-57377862309605552132010-11-01T16:05:17.489-05:002010-11-01T16:05:17.489-05:00It sounds like you are moving towards acceptance. ...It sounds like you are moving towards acceptance.

I know I've said it many times before, but I'm going to keep saying it.<br /><br />All around me family members are expecting babies and it is such a struggle to know they'll most likely have what I want, what I dreamed of. You are so amazing, and so strong, for being able to knit a pair of pants for your brother-in-law's sister's new baby. <br /><br />Love to you and Jacob.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14426410846093760653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9120089838687161782.post-51102793955401386732010-10-31T17:53:34.059-05:002010-10-31T17:53:34.059-05:00Every so often in the midst of my 80 weeks, I look...Every so often in the midst of my 80 weeks, I look around and I think "it wasn't supposed to be like this. . ." <br /><br />Thinking of you.

I...I am glad that you are feeling a little better. I think it is something about passing the due date and have to accept that we will never hold our babies again. It still hurts so bad but at least we are starting to feel normal here and there. <br /><br />You mentioned your brother-in-laws sister who just had a baby and my heart sank. My brother and his girlfriend are getting ready to have their son any day now and I am struggling with it a lot. It will always remind me that Harper should be a month older and remind me of all the things that she should be doing as the days go on. <br /><br />I am thinking about you a lot and I hope that you have a nice restful night. Sending lots of love to you!Rhiannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11722893069322386523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9120089838687161782.post-36003864306643318492010-10-31T17:11:56.752-05:002010-10-31T17:11:56.752-05:00I am sending you so many hugs right now and am thi...I am sending you so many hugs right now and am thinking about your sweet Jacob. <3 <3 <3 I am so sorry that you are having to work through all of these feelings and emotions rather than the experiences of taking care of your newborn baby. You are so incredibly strong and are making your way through this journey. We may have to accept that our babies aren't in our arms, but we can always hold on to the love we have for them. Jacob's ashes may be in the garden, but his spirit is everywhere. He is with you always. I love you!Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04601800346553703806noreply@blogger.com
