Words cannot express the love and support I feel from y'all. I appreciate each and every message that has been sent to me both in comments and by e-mail.
I'm doing OK. Still a little tired but part of that may stem from getting to bed after 3:00AM and then getting up around 7:30. I did get a short nap in but went to bed late and Caroline got me up at 6:30 (I'm hoping that Day Light Savings time see her sleeping a little later. A reminder that this is happening tonight/tomorrow morning rather than April.) So I am taking it easy this weekend.
Caroline knew something was up and gave me lots of hugs and attention yesterday. This morning she is playing with her dinosaurs which are going on some adventure at this point with Diego. Ariel was a big help with Caroline so Peter and I could go see my doctor. Yesterday was a bit of a pause while today we have a million and two things going on so as they say life goes on.
Peter commented and I have to agree that what we are finding out is that I am now part of a silent majority. Miscarriage is not talked about but happens to so many people and effects so many too. Once of the reasons that Peter and I decided to talk about what happened was so that others could express themselves and what happened to them.
Something I do feel I need to clarify. Peter and I were not trying to have another child. I am on the pill at this time. Peter has four daughters and I have 3 stepdaughters and a daughter in my life. What we figured out after some research is that we can trace this back to my taking an antibiotic which apparently reduces the effectiveness of birth control pills for a longer period of time than just the week I was taking it. So I figure I would caution others so this wouldn't happen to them cause it kinda sucks a lot.
Today I plan to get some puppet work done. This time next week Caroline and I will be attending LunaCon. Peter will be in LA at Wizard Con LA and Ariel will be off at her cousin's Bar Mitzvah. So life does go on but I am glad that we took a pause as a family yesterday.
I am grateful to everyone for your support and understanding.
