February is such a strange month for me, and this week I’ve been particularly off. Last Valentine’s Day I found out my IVF baby no longer had a heartbeat and two days later on my birthday I was headed in for a D&C. It was all a shockingly cruel whirlwind and even though I’ve come so far in the past year, the body keeps the score.
I’m grateful beyond words to spend this Valentine’s Day with this miraculous baby bump one year later and the next chapter of life we have to look forward to together, but I also feel weird not acknowledging the future I lost, and I’m giving myself some space to sit with that. It’s just a strange thing. 🤍🤍
