I did today, and I feel like it was somehow meant to be. I am also 36 weeks and one day pregnant today. I lost my son, Max, almost one year ago to SIDS. I couldn't help but notice that your last post, which I relate to on so many levels, was written on what would have been Max's first birthday, May 4. Thank you for sharing and for reminding me that it's okay to be human throughout this process.Lindsey McFallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17939111196315858525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2444240168435786429.post-52762869247681996502012-05-19T15:35:49.461-05:002012-05-19T15:35:49.461-05:00Wow I am going through many of the same things you...Wow I am going through many of the same things you are at this moment. Although not pregnant with twins but pregnant for the second time around after losing my Reed almost 9 years ago shortly after birth. No matter how many times the Dr says his heart looks just fine that voice in my head says,"yea so did Reed's right up to the last 48 hours." It's been a very healing process also though this time around. I have been able to grieve and heal in ways I didn't even know I needed to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2444240168435786429.post-42728695914055220512012-05-14T21:43:13.827-05:002012-05-14T21:43:13.827-05:00Beautiful.

Being pregnant after a loss...What a beautiful post. Being pregnant after a loss is so hard. I remember people discounting my concerns as "crazy talk" and saying that since I was going to have another baby I could get on with my life. I remember almost needing to separate myself from the pregnancy so I didn't go completely bonkers worrying about the 'what ifs' but at the same time trying to drink in every little hiccup and kick to the bladder. Unfortunately, I hoped that having this baby would make all my pain go away. I found out that I was even more distraught after he was born wanting my daughter even more. Putting false pretenses on that pregnancy took away bonding with my son right after he was born. I try to encourage others from thinking that a new baby can take the pain away because I found out the hard way that is does not. Congratulations to your family!! I agree with Mary above, these babies are fed by Ellie's light. Many blessings to you!!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11786905242114408886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2444240168435786429.post-17758536984740433082012-05-08T01:43:52.433-05:002012-05-08T01:43:52.433-05:00I've been thinking about you so much.

My fears are almost as big as my grief. Almost as big as my joy that a new babe in on his way. Sometimes my fear swallows me alive. "It won't happen again" is something I hear all of the time and think, "It shouldn't have happened the first time". Max was also nine months. It is such a precious age. People say you start to feel some relief from the anxiety once you pass the age that your baby died. Nine months is a whole pregnancy. Hopefully our nine month waits go faster that our pregnancies have. If you are anything like me, this one (I am in my 28th week) has been moving at a snail's pace. I hope your remaining pregnancy time flies and I can't wait to hear about the little ones! So much love to you Tiffany!<br /><br />XOXO AbbyAbby Levisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748394086960661826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2444240168435786429.post-82173393904890612102012-05-05T11:59:39.461-05:002012-05-05T11:59:39.461-05:00Brian and I talk a lot about if we have another ch...Brian and I talk a lot about if we have another child after Kaia. It's always IF, it's never when. We know how lucky we got with her. It's hard to imagine having a healthy pregnancy after two back to back pPROM pregnancies. It's hard to imagine having a full term healthy baby after having two preemies. One who died and one who lived. People might think we're crazy to be so pessimistic. I think we'd be crazy not to consider the worst happening again. It's all a matter of perspective.<br /><br />Congratulations for reaching 36+ weeks with twins. That's a feat in and of itself!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17587287197734518952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2444240168435786429.post-84139180758771533132012-05-05T01:50:36.195-05:002012-05-05T01:50:36.195-05:00Beautifully written post, and I love the pictures....Beautifully written post, and I love the pictures.
