Yeah, I had to take a break from the blogosphere for a while (OK... more like 6 months!).
I was googling and looking at every blog I could find about "miscarriage at 15 weeks." Or "lack of fetal movement at 17 weeks." This continued throughout the 2nd trimester. When I entered the 3rd trimester, I stopped going on the internet. It was hard, but I resisted. Apparently, I enjoy a form of self torture where I read other's stories of loss, and rationalize that if it happened to "them," it could happen to "me." Not exactly healthy to put myself in that frame of mind.
So, I walked away. It was really hard, but I did it.
And here it is mid-November. And guess what? I have a healthy, wonderful, miraculous 2 1/2 week baby boy. I'm still trying to figure out how that happened!
Introducing... Owen Henry
He was born on Halloween via scheduled C-section (thank God!), and weighed 9 lbs. 10 oz, and was 21 1/2 inches.
His big brother Matthew seems to be adjusting well...
(and he's doing very well in Kindergarten!).
Well, there you have it. A small but rather significant update. One I never thought I'd ever be posting... I am a mother of two. Weird. I still have a hard time wrapping my head around that one.
In the coming weeks, I'm gonna try a new blog layout, and really, really try to post often. No promises, but that's the plan.
I hope to catch up with everything soon!
