The sad news is:
We lost a little baby.
Yesterday The Beloved and I traveled to the hospital so a D&C could be performed.
How do you write about a miscarriage? This is how it works for me :) -
My sister-in-law and I have come to the conclusion that all that really needs to be said is - that sucks. (Sorry I said Sucks Mom) :)
We know there will be more children in our future. I know it's not my fault. Things happen for a reason. Got it.
But that doesn't make it easy and it is okay to be sad.
So - we were sad -
still are a little bit - but legal narcotics are awesome :)
and here are a few things that make me ever so happy:
When stressful things occur, like prepping for a D&C, I like to do things that I know will make me happy once I get home.
So, I cleaned my fridge. There's something about a clean fridge that just brings a smile to my face and makes me feel like the best homemaker alive. (Happens twice a year :))
My husband always makes homemade Valentines cards for us.
Doesn't that just pull at your heart strings?
The Beloved has to wake up super early on Sundays to be at his church meetings so he is always up and out the door before I set a foot out of bed.
This is what I found in the kitchen once I arose:
Valentines and gifts set out for all.
Here's my Valentine.Have I ever mentioned that The Beloved calls me Dogglet? I am sure I have tried my hardest not to. But against my will, it has definitely become a term of endearment... and has grown on me... but just a tiny bit :)
and he freakin' loves me. And boy do I love him.
Other tender mercies from the Lord:
three adorable troublesome little blessings that I couldn't live without.
Notice the teeth - or lack thereof.
I know I tease and being married to me is a guarantee to get made fun of - and any embarrassing little slip will most likely appear on this blog -
But also my favorite things are mentioned once in awhile as well -
and he's my favorite ladies and gentlemen.
So, here's to the sad and to the good!
And to having a clean refrigerator!

That sucks my friend.I'd say I know how you feel, but I don't. Everyone is different and I hate when people say that;)haha However I can agree that the drugs are fabulous and make the world seem okay for 5 minutes. Hang in there, keep trying....and once you succeed continue to keep trying. That always makes me feel better!
That does suck...sorry to hear that. I tend to deal with stuff using humor (as you can see in a post about my miscarriage) which probably seems insensitive. I think the best time about the whole thing was getting the anesthesia and not having to think anymore. On a lighter note...your clean fridge has made me decide to clean my fridge out. It must be so nice to be able to find things!
I am sorry Cammy. I heart you. You know I am just an email, phone call, text or blog post away and I will be here with all the love, comedic support and whatever you need to ease your pain. Has anyone ever told Jed that he looks like Kevin Smith?? Cute Valentines. XoXo
I am so sorry you two! Ryan and I both just bawled when we had our miscarriage. I felt helpless and very frusturated. It was a very hard time for us (especially me). I hope you are recovering well. I felt really weak after my D&C. I really am sorry to hear that. You make beautiful kids and I look forward to admiring a future baby to come. Good luck!
btw-Good job Jed on the Valentine's. What a man!
btw- You have a wiggle rider too? Awesome! They are fun.
That totally bites as well as sucks. I am glad you are hangin in there little doglet.
Oh Cami. There aren't even words. I can't even imagine how you feel. I just remember when Kami lost her baby and you were right there to lend support and be such a great friend by getting everyone together for a gift. I pray that you have a friend there that is half as good as you are. My heart really does hurt. It makes me so sad that stuff like this happens. I love you and hope all is well.
I love you! How do you cry and laugh while reading one blog! Think of you often.
So sorry Cam :( You are such an amazing person. I don't know how anyone really deals with that loss. You are a tough women and deserve the best in life. Heres to the future. Let me know when, and I'll send a big fat Pepsi your way ;)
oh cammy, i am so sorry. i was so wrapped up in my own crazy week with hospital stays and such i didn't take the time to call you. i love you so much. i know we've not been able to spend a ton of time together, but i really do love you like a sister. you love that kooky brother of mine and take such good care of him, and bring out the best in him, believe me. he wasn't always this wonderful...kiss kiss "beloved" you know i love you, too. i really am so sorry this happened, but you are strong and brave and things will be alright. to wax poetic a moment, we really are sad with you, though so far away. kiss those sweet nephews if mine for me.
