Telling my 6 yr old...
2 days post mc. I finally worked up the words to tell Caleb that he isn't going to be a big brother. But when I sat in front of him & looked in his eyes I couldn't remember a word. All I could tell him is there isn't a baby in my belly anymore. He kept asking why. Then he said "so this means I'm not going to be a big brother?" And an instant sad face. All I could tell him was I didn't know why and sometimes these things happen. I told him he will be a big brother one day. Just not in November.
Then his dad came to pick him up for the weekend (I had already told him I lost the baby). He asked Caleb how his day was and he said "today is the worst day ever. I'm not going to be a big brother. The baby died.."
It broke my heart to hear him say that out loud. I know it's going to take time to heal. And I know we will. But damn I'm so sad...
