Hi Maya,
I know exactly what you are going through. 17 weeks is a BIG milestone for you! And you are almost through it... :) I lost my baby boy 6/30/07 at 37.5 weeks. I delivered my son who is almost seven months at 37 weeks. I had many milestone during that pregnancy to overcome and many healings that took place in me. I miss my little girl more than anything but praise the Lord I have a healthy son now! It does feel as though you don't want to get excited about your pregnancy BUT you can. This is a beautiful new life that you are building. You have to take it one day at a time. You have many wonderful things to look forward to and this is your time. Hang in there, you are doing great...
Keep us posted...
Blessings,
Tracy Kimble

Hi Maya,Thank you for sharing your thoughts about both of your babies. Gabrielle is a beautiful name. Congratulations on your current pregnancy. This is a very courageous step forward. I believe you will find some peace during this pregnancy.Do you have support while you are on bed rest? I like to read and find Karen Kingsbury books very interesting. I started with the Redemption Series and have read 15 of her books since then. Reading and writing have both been very helpful when I am missing my son. Sometimes I think it is difficult to experience conflicting emotions with our unique circumstances. Hang in there--Think Good Thoughts.Kelley

Hi Everyone,
I'm new to this group. I lost my son Gabrielle at 17 weeks on 4.17.07 due to multiple uterine fibroids. I am currently 17 weeks into my subsequent pregnancy and am on bedrest until next week.
I feel like I haven't really bonded with this baby and am really concerned if that is normal. Everytime I begin to get a little excited something happens that makes me feel as if this pregnancy won't make it either. And this pregnancy has made me miss my Gabrielle even more. And I begin to have this incredible guilt that just washes over me when I begin to actually enjoy this pregnancy.
Did anyone else experience any feelings like this?
Maya
PS-Oddly enough, I've begun listening to music and singing again and I haven't really sang since Gabrielle died. It actually makes me feel better. And when I sing, every now and then I will feel this baby move.
