Experiencing my first miscarriage 😭

You know how sometimes you do everything right but no matter what you do, things just aren’t in the cards for you? That’s how these past 3 months have been. We were so excited to give our 1 1/2 year old a little brother or sister, I did everything I was supposed to. I ate healthier, I didn’t drink caffeine, I took my prenatals religiously, I stopped sleeping on my stomach, stopped letting my son jump on my stomach when we’re wrestling in bed. But for whatever reason, our little bean didn’t want to stick around. I guess it just wasn’t meant to be right now. Whether it’s because we were both concerned about bringing a child into the world during this pandemic, or because God wanted us to focus on our son a little bit longer, this was all part of a bigger plan. So as excited as I was to announce, and I had such a cute idea that my coworker was going to help me with, family and friends won’t be seeing it YET. So here’s one of the few “bumpies” I got to take instead. This was me at 11 weeks with an actual bump! 😂💔 also I had just woken up so don’t mind the messy hair lol. Yesterday was easily one of the worst days of my life. These past 24 hours have been absolute torture knowing that for the past week I didn’t “feel” pregnant anymore but waiting for the ultrasound results to come back yesterday, I just knew. I don’t wish this pain on anybody.
