I have this week off from school so I picked up a couple shifts on the ambulance. I was on one of the floors for a discharge to a nursing home and bumped into my old therapist who I still keep updated on things in my life. He knew I was pregnant with Maggie but the last time I emailed with him was before Christmas and obviously a lot has happened since then. I felt really awkward seeing him when I've been meaning to email him a zillion times and never manage to get around to it.
Then later, his office called about my appointment tomorrow with another clinician (who prescribes my Celexa) needing to be rescheduled stating his wife had her baby. I felt like I was kicked in the gut, the uterus to be exact. I knew he and his wife were expecting so it wasn't completely out of the blue but it still took me by surprise to hear it so causally on the phone. I guess it's not really for the receptionists to know what my issues are and reasons for my office visits.
Later my boyfriend stopped by work to see me and I told him about it and started crying. It works out for everyone else.
I wish I was still pregnant with Maggie.

Hi there...just came across your blog...somehow searching for women who have also lost precious babies...ive had several miscarriages...still yet to have a child. I am so sorry for your loss...its the worst feeling in the world and even after a year of my last loss...i still cant stop crying when i think about it...I wish you much strength.
I wish you were still pregnant with Maggie, too. So sorry you are in this pain.
Dear Shannon:
I am so sorry for all of your loss. As a mother myself, my heart aches for you and I am sending my prayers your way.
I work for Everlasting Memories, an online retailer that specializes in cremation urns and memorial jewelry. I was wondering if you would have any interest in doing a product review. We have so many great products that I honestly feel can help parents that have experienced loss. Getting an honest review not only helps us maintain the integrity of our products and shows us what is working and what we need to improve on but also lets us provide the best products we can to those that are grieving - and that matters most of all. I have a particular fondness for our photo engraved keepsakes as they honor those that are living as well as those that have passed (I have three of each of my children). I would be happy to send at no charge any keepsake of your choice. I don't know if the photo engraved is the best option but I would be happy to send you any keepsake that speaks to you...Maybe one of the M initial pendants?
The links to our site and to our photo engraved pendants are:
