Who knew I could fall in love with someone I had never met...
Who knew in the seven short weeks I cradled you in my body, that they would be the best weeks I had ever known...
Who knew I would lose my sense of self, as my body became "ours", and I felt that little heavy weight of you deep inside of me, as if to say--"I am"...
Who knew my sense of smell would go topsy-turvy and I would smell fish sticks, which would make me go and sniff the fish tank questioningly...
Who knew that morning sickness would only start at noon and last all night...
Who knew that I could entirely lose faith in the medical profession...
Who knew that I would rub my belly at night and talk to you for hours until I fell asleep...
Who knew that I could sing Christmas carols in April and be so excited for Christmas so I could see your tiny face...
Who knew that I would cry myself to sleep and pray to not wake up...
Who knew that macaroni and cheese with Peanut Butter Capt'n Crunch would taste so good...
Who knew that eventually I would get used to the doc seeing me with my legs up in the air...
Who knew that people could mean to be helpful, yet hurt so much when they said..."at least now you know you can pregnant"...
Who knew that I would have named you after being pregnant only a week...
Who knew that now I would avoid people with small children...
Who knew that seven short weeks could change my life forever...
Who knew that I could place a gravestone for a child that doesn't lay there...
Who knew that I could entirely dread the Christmas season now that there is no reason to celebrate...
Who knew that I could be the mother of an angel in Heaven...
Who knew that somedays I would cry because I woke up the next morning...
Who knew I could get so angry at people that don't take care of their children...
Who knew that I would worry about other people never getting to meet you...
Who knew... I do...
In memory of my little angel baby...Erin Marie Thompson
Miscarried at 7 weeks, 3 days...
Est. Due Date...Dec. 12
I am soooo sorry for your loss!! Your poem was absolutely beautiful!

That was beautiful. O also lost a baby this april at about 8 weeks... I was also due late Nov/Early Dec. I'm kinda sad about this Christmastime as well, because I was so excited to be getting a baby as my Christmas present. I feel for you, and hope everything goes okay...

Mommy - you are in my prayers. I am so sorry for your loss. Just know that one day you will get to see your child again. The one thing I've always wanted to know was what color Christopher's eyes are.

This was an absolutely beautiful poem. I'm also going through something like this. I am suppose to be 9 weeks pregnant and the baby stopped growing at 6 weeks. To make things harder... my sister and I were due two weeks apart. Although I am very happy for her and that everything is going very well for her pregnancy, I'm so sad and feeling broken that I'm not going to have a baby and she is.

Amanda - I'm so sorry! I didn't know about your sister being pregnant. My SIL just had her baby a week ago, and I haven't seen him lately. Beyond that, nearly every woman I know that is physically able to be pregnant... is, and several are due around the same time I was. This is my first miscarriage, and it's so much harder than I ever imangined it could be.

What a beautiful poem--you hit the nail on the head with every single statement that you put up. Thanks for sharing, as hard as it was to write and share, I'm sure. ((hugs))

Keena- I'm so sorry. I miscarried my first baby earlier this year and it was MUCH harder than I ever expected. All I can tell you is that it does get a little bit easier with time...I promise. Good luck and my prayers are with you.

Keena- I am so sorry for your loss, if ever you need an ear, I'll gladly listen. I wish I could tell you that everything would go back to the way it used to be. Somedays, it seems that life looks up, other days it seems so hard just to make myself get out of bed in the mornings. It's been six months since I lost my little one, and there are days when all I do is cry, but I know she's up there waiting for me, and that helps me get through another day.
ans05- I know how that feels. My sister-in-law got pregnant the week after we lost our baby, and although I'm happy for her, I can't handle being around her for very long. It's so hard watching someone else feel the happiness and joy that you yourself have been robbed of.
My best friend and I were pregnant at the same time- she now how the most beautiful baby girl, and I'm so happy for her, but every time I see her I go home and cry. Thanks everyone for sharing your stories, it's good to know that we're not going through this alone.
