Thank you

Just a quick note to update that I had the D&E yesterday. Everything seems to have gone smoothly. The past few days have been very emotional for me and The Husband, and today I am resting at home watching hours of bad television (True Blood, I’m looking at you). 

I plan on writing a more detailed update soon about the procedure and my experience. Hopefully one day if anyone is ever nervously Googling the procedure, like I did in February before the first time, they might come across it and it might provide some comfort or information. 

I also want to say a heartfelt “Thank you” for all of the support we have received over the past few days. Thank you to everyone who posted a comment, or reached out in another way, and offered support. We hadn’t shared the news of this pregnancy with many people (not even our parents until The Husband told them Wednesday night), and so I haven’t felt like I’ve had as many people to talk with this time around. Other than my support group and anyone who reads this blog only two other people knew. And to read all of the comments this morning from so many strong, compassionate, caring people, who are traveling through their own journeys and may have been through similar heartaches themselves, brought tears to my eyes. We really aren’t alone, even if in our darkest moments we might forget it temporarily. So thank you for reminding me of that as well.
