WOW not Again

I never thought I would be back here again. We were nervous but excited that we were pregnant again 2 months after the loss of KJoi. We arrived at the critical point of 22 weeks again and there was a heightened sense of worry. But things were going well until again at 22 weeks there was a complication which quickly lead us back to where we were 6 months ago with KJoi. There I was and it was happening again pre-term labor and losing another baby (Langston Joseph - LJ). We so badly want a family and there is no real answer for why it keeps occurring at 22 weeks with no apparent signs of trouble. Again there was the anger and fear that I will never have a family. I also begin to have fears about my marriage wondering if my husband would be okay with being in a marriage without children. I begin feeling inadequate that I could not give him something so natural as if I was depriving him of a desire - where would that leave us in our marriage? He is worried about me physically and mentally - thinks I may be going cuckoo and I know that is a reality. Losing 2 children in 1 year is too much for 1 person to handle I pray I and we can get through this and still hope for a family. I do know that I have so many people who love and care for me who are helping me through this yet again. They also want me to keep hope for a family. There seem to be many people I know who have suffered with miscarriages but never spoke about it - however for me there is a distinction between a miscarriage and giving birth to two babies, holding them, knowing them and not being able to take them home. Now there are 2 angels that watch over us Kjoi and LJ. I have not told some about our loss yet it was holiday and I just could not speak of it. Friends & family do not want me to be alone but I want to be in my home and not a burden to anyone else during this time - I know that is not how they may feel but it is my feeling. I am gonna go get some help for myself and for us too - just to be sure we are gonna be more than okay individually and as a couple.

  1. my apologies for being super late on this news. but wow Nikki. I truly never knew. I remember stumbling upon a posting in reference to little KJ but as I was redirected to your blog for the first time on the 4th year of your sweet girl passing.....I discover the news about LJ. Oh my sister....I can not fathom. this has got to be the hardest thing a woman has to face. I now that I can not truly relate but let me tell you that I can not imagine losing my girl and boy. my heart aches for what you had to endure. and although I know it's been a few years, it does not diminish the pain you went through. I pray for your lil angels and husband. and I pray for your bouncing baby boy. may he not be a replacement but conjure up beautiful dreams and memories of your lil angels. big sister and big bro will live on thru him. trust and believe that.
