Here's the post with all the info. Something a little different... http://calebs-story.blogspot.com/2012/06/little-something-different.htmlAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16703612895959636637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5126877625563377113.post-21507675825885009822012-05-30T02:11:17.962-05:002012-05-30T02:11:17.962-05:00Thank you, Chirleen! Do you know what's amazin...Thank you, Chirleen! Do you know what's amazing? I was JUST reading your blog earlier today too! The entire time thinking wow - our stories are really similar! I am so terribly sorry for the loss of your sweet Caleb. You are so fresh in your grief and I remember how foggy and clouded my mind still felt at this point last year...our boys' birthdays are almost exactly a year apart.<br /><br />Thank you for thinking of me and praying for me. I will keep you in my prayers as well. It does suck, but I'm glad you know that you aren't alone, but also know that it does get better. I have been struggling lately, but so much of that is tied into my renewed struggle with infertility. I still miss Chase every single day, but the tears don't fall like they used to and my mind isn't all-consumed by the grief like it used to be. But there is still the pain, even though it's easier to live with I guess.

I know you have to keep moving on for your other children, but that must be hard not feeling like you get a chance to just stop and grieve for Jonathan. Praying for you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10531490145631654196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5126877625563377113.post-41256138221651971862012-05-30T02:01:56.230-05:002012-05-30T02:01:56.230-05:00Thank you for all of your support, Rachel.

I know you're still waiting to be able to breathe a sigh of relief when she's here and I will continue praying that she arrives here healthy! I actually made some tentative plans today to start an infertility sub group that is part of my support group. I think it will help me a lot to have something to do and especially to hopefully be able to help others too! I'm feeling a lot better today! :) Grief is so up and down, I feel crazy sometimes!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10531490145631654196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5126877625563377113.post-86206593229505232182012-05-29T19:21:46.116-05:002012-05-29T19:21:46.116-05:00Hi Stefanie,

I too have PCOS and after almost 12 years of TTC, I just lost our first son, Caleb at 22 weeks on April 17th, 2012. I had an incompetent cervix and was on hospital bed rest dilated to 4cm for 6 days before going into preterm labor. It's been awful as you very well understand.<br /><br />I pray that you find peace in all of this. It's not easy. It sucks. But as Tesha said above, you are not alone. And that's the one thing that has comforted me.<br /><br />Much love to you,<br />ChirleenAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16703612895959636637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5126877625563377113.post-74611003353434241822012-05-29T10:11:03.482-05:002012-05-29T10:11:03.482-05:00I am so very sorry my heart truly hurts for you. I...I am so very sorry my heart truly hurts for you. I can not imagine the agony you have gone through. I am praying for you now and will continue to pray. I wish I had some wonderful words of wisdom I don't. I will just say prayers and hugs coming your way, YOUR NOT ALONE.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14497636907002853665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5126877625563377113.post-76803620072185950422012-05-29T08:14:44.528-05:002012-05-29T08:14:44.528-05:00I'm sorry you are struggling.

But it's much harder when we don't have our babies here to "prove" we are mothers. Definitely keep writing, and hopefully you will find out what that "next step" is going to be. I would recommend finding something to take your mind off TTC and babies, but I know that's impossible. EVerything else is just a temporary distraction.
