My mother-in-law just sent a message saying "Beware the Ides of March" (since it's midnight now, so technically the 15th). It reminded me about the baby we lost in September.
The due date was set for this coming Sunday. But as it was close enough to March 15th, it was enough to get Tom pretty excited about a possible "Ides of March baby" (he's a huge Roman history nut). I had promised that if that was in fact the baby's birthday and if it was a girl, we'd name her "Julia" in honor of Julius Caesar (Julius for a boy, though, I wasn't such a fan of).
Strange to think that we would have been welcoming a new little one into the family right about now.
I'm not sure what the right thing to say here is, but I know how you feel. I have had three babies with due dates in the end of January. Two of those babies are alive and thriving. I never met the other in this life.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry. Big hugs.
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about you and your lost little one this past week. Prayers and thoughts.
ReplyDeleteYou are in our prayers. Perhaps you could do something special this weekend to honor your baby. We celebrate Abby every year on her due date with something yummy for dessert. It helps us to remember her and smile. I am so sorry you have to experience such a bittersweet day. Let me know if you need anything at all. God bless.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss. I can relate, I miscarried my first two pregnancies, both of them with April due dates. I am currently expecting a baby (due March 31) and am very excited for her pending birth, but I can't help but think about the fact that I should be celebrating birthdays for a five year old and a three year old next month. Sending you big hugs!!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss.I know how you feel since my 1st pregnancy ended in a loss in the second trimester after we found out the sex and picked a name sadly :( I can say this though it does get easier with time.
ReplyDeleteChristine, I am so very sorry for your loss and all that your family has had to endure the last 6 months... you have our prayers!
ReplyDeleteI am sorry for your loss. I lost my last 2 babies very early in the pregnancies. I gave each of them a name even though we did not know the gender. You will meet your little one someday.
ReplyDeletelove,

So sorry and hugs your way. I lost two babies at 10 weeks and when their "due dates" come around I always get super moody
