Today

Today is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day.

Today I learned that the miracle baby I've been carrying for nine weeks no longer has a heartbeat.

Today I understand the pain and heartache so many other survivors have felt.

My heart breaks for everyone who has endured this torture in the past and for everyone after me.

I am at the beginning of the end of this journey. Mild cramping a light bleeding have already started.

The worst part, I'm still pregnant. My tiny baby bump ( which seems exaggerated) still carries a baby...a dead baby.

Devastated doesn't even begin to describe it.
