Honestly, this 31 day series did not come at a good time for me. I had been planning for several months to do a series on TTC in October. I began compiling a list of different topics to address as well as ideas for people to guest post.
And then in August, I discovered I was pregnant. It was odd, because even when I was staring at the positive test, something just felt off. I wasn’t overwhelmingly excited as I would have expected. I soon realized that something was indeed wrong and five days later I had a miscarriage.
We ended up getting pregnant again very quickly. I discovered at the beginning of this series that I was pregnant again. And then, two days ago….our precious baby went to heaven.
I have been putting off writing this post, because I don’t even know how to write about it. And yet miscarriages can be such a huge part of TTC that I feel that it needs to be addressed. Perhaps someday I will be able to blog about my experiences, but I do not feel that I am ready.
Tomorrow I have a guest poster who will share. And the next day I will have a post for anyone who has had a loved one experience a miscarriage and ways you can help.

Oh, Bonnie, my heart aches for you! I’m so sorry to hear this. I haven’t experienced miscarriage myself but many of my friends have and I’ve wept with them for the babies we’ll never hold. I can understand that it’s especially hard after it took you so long to conceive the Wingman. You are in my prayers! I wish I could give you a hug in person. And kudos to you for sharing all of this despite your pain. Blessings!
Thank you Bonnie for your sweet comment. It has definitely been an incredibly hard few months. Thank you for your prayers!
