I have thought about so many different things to blog about over the past few months, but every time I sit down to do it, I have writer's block.
Well actually, I have more of sick feeling and then I get angry. This blog was not supposed to be about sadness and anger. It was supposed to be about happy times, funny stories, and cute pictures.
Honestly, I feel like I put up a really good front on Facebook and in my day-to-day life. I have really thrown myself into work and I have been incredibly busy, which is great! I know that most people reading this may even think, "Really? You seem fine..." And I am. (most days)
I have been really sad the last few days. And I don't think its because of any particular date, event, nothing happened, I'm just sad. I still feel cheated. I am angry that I don't have 4 or 5 children here with me. On the flip side, there are times that I see babies and I am relieved to not be in that stage. How stupid of me!?!?
Yes, I know I am a crazy person.
I go back to the "crazy" doctor on Thursday for a follow up and I guess we will discuss changing my meds. She had told me that she doesn't want me changing the dosage without talking to her. Well... I don't follow directions very well. Ha! Actually, there were a few days that I forgot to take my medicine (not consecutive, but sporadically) and I didn't feel any different, so I decided to go a few days at a slightly lower dose. I started having nightmares about dead babies and I noticed myself wanting to dwell on the losses more. Not good stuff, so I bumped it back up. :(
As I look through these pictures of Bowie at the hospital, I analyze every little thing and think, "Why didn't try this or do this????" Why couldn't they save my baby? Why didn't they screen me better or do more tests. I know that where he is at, he isn't in pain. he knows no sadness, but I do and it hurts so much. I wish I would have taken more pictures or a cast of his little body (is that the craziest thing you have ever heard?). I just wish I had more of him than an urn.
I have seen a few funerals lately for infants and I can't help but wonder if I should have done that. Would it have helped? I don't know that it would have. Did I cheat my friends and family out of their goodbyes? Or would they have even come? I was in no condition to have a funeral at that time and then I would have felt guilty having one for Bowie and not having one for Joey.
I don't really have much else to say. I wish this would have never happened.

I'm so very sorry, sweet friend. I wish this had never happened to you either. Good for you for sharing how you feel, going to the doctor, and being real. I love you and will continue to pray for God to heal your momma's heart in time.
