Before God formed you in your no-nonsense/hilarious/extremely thoughtful mother's womb, He knew you. If I make the cut, I look forward to meeting you in heaven.

I totally get what you're saying about being angry that you had felt shamed about sharing previous pregnancies and waiting to share this one. I've done the same thing and had the same resulting anger when I miscarried. I hope this is your ONLY miscarriage.

I have heard a bit about you from our friend, and she has shared some of your story with me. She has been an amazing support to me over the years, and I always feel indebted to her for everything she's done for my family. I would not have survived those agonizing 4 days of waiting and mourning if I had to tend my children. I would have gotten through it, but I would have had to stuff aside my pain for the sake of my role as their mom. Being free to mourn as I needed to without the tasks required of me, and being able to rest when my body screamed for me to do so, made it a little easier to process everything I was going through, and move forward a tiny bit sooner than others might have. And I don't know if you have read other posts in my blog, but if you search for the one titled "Originality and Humor", I addressed the topic of verbal knife twisting when people commented on my family size. <br />I too, am immensely grateful for how amazing the midwife was about it all. Because she didn't treat our situation as something so overly clinical, and because I had processed a LOT of the emotional and mental stuff, I had no issue indulging her curiosity, because seriously, *I* was just as curious.

The name you chose is beautiful. <3<br /><br />We've met in passing online, and your knitting friend was a great support for me, albeit in a more virtual sense, through my loss. I'm not sure if you know, but she called me in tears on the way to the grocery store to pick up your bottle and saline. I cried along with her because another woman was losing a precious baby. It was the first time I felt as though she was the one accepting comfort rather than giving it. She just has that way, doesn't she, always the caretaker?<br /><br />Much love to all of you, and yes, so much, in regards to the paragraph about what NOT to say. Yes, maybe we can have more children, but they don't replace the one that we didn't keep and there are times that seeing the baby(ies) born after twists the knife somewhat because they make you wonder even more about who the lost one would have been. <br /><br />I'm glad the midwife was respectful, instead of treating the baby as merely a medical thing. A person is a person, no matter how small. <br /><br />(((((((hugs))))))))Rachel Bonitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13325149560953634698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9039208151316581753.post-16049987766034360562015-05-05T11:29:25.630-04:002015-05-05T11:29:25.630-04:00I need a "like" button for your reply, a...I need a "like" button for your reply, alas, this is not crackbook, for which I am on another hiatus. I discontinued comments for my own blog. One of my quotes is of Della Reese, who states she has enough trouble with what is running through her own mind, let alone someone else's.

A week and a half later, I posted a rant about the people in my 'hood who feed the geese causing the migratory birds to stay put instead, and they then wander into my yard and leave piles of poop where we walk. The neighbor took exception to my complaint, my friends replied, I lobbed a verbal mortar because I was tired of being criticized, and the neighbor decided to discontinue our crackbook connection. There are deeper issues at play, and I don't have energy to delve into it. My circus has enough chaotic monkeys all its own. I can't take on someone else's primates. <br />Feisty Irish Wenchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00689381839029507940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9039208151316581753.post-89637122258106588162015-04-11T16:54:03.796-04:002015-04-11T16:54:03.796-04:00How ridiculous someone did not appreciate your com...How ridiculous someone did not appreciate your commitment to the environment!

A family was walking in the store parking lot, groceries in one cart, 2 kids in the other, and a third child a few steps ahead of his parents. His dad called out to watch out for white people, because they'll run his ass over for being black. I saw a family. That little boy's dad saw skin pigment. Now, tell me who was the racist in that situation?<br />Since you want to call out the source of the report, based on a link url, here is the source of those reports, from the "horse" itself. http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/html/data/vs-summary.shtml<br /><br />It's the identical report posted on the NYC.gov site as it is the news source site. <br /><br />Maybe if you weren't so busy going around the internet calling people racists while hiding behind anonymous comments, you'd have time to actually look at the numbers as they're broken down in the report, and then go back and ask your neighbors why they have no problem with ending the lives of unborn babies, killing fellow black community members, and ostracizing themselves from the world with vitriolic behavior, while decrying the actions of other races. You can't ignore the behavior in the black community, and get angry when other races treat yours poorly. It's pretty much the same as what is laid out in Matthew 7:3-5.
