I was so happy to receive such kind and wonderful advice after announcing my pregnancy. I waited a long time to tell my parents, family, friends, internet world, etc. but once I did the excitement poured over me like nothing I had ever experienced.
We went to find out the gender of the baby this week where we learned that our little baby's heart had stopped beating.
I tell you dear roommates, and internet world, this personal note as I try to relieve some of the sadness that has filled my body. I am fortunate to have a support network of people that have showed me such tender kindness and I feel forever grateful.
I will be taking a few weeks off the internet, and the duplex, to spend time trying to move forward and most likely doing many odd tasks, as I have found myself in complete task-mode trying to occupy my mind. I feel confident that sometime in the future I will return to feeling like myself, and that one day my home will be filled with baking bread and baby bums, but for now that will wait.

Wow, Whitney.

Your roommates will welcome you back with open arms whenever you're ready to return.

Oh Whit, this just breaks my heart. Love you and praying for your sweet family.
Oh, so sorry. I have been a lurker on here for a while, and though I can't relate to exactly what you're going through, I can at least understand what it's like to want a child, a pregnancy, and have it not working out like you'd plan. Thoughts and prayers are with you.
Whitney, I am so sorry to hear this news. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I know there is nothing that I can say that will make this situation any better, but I hope that you can find comfort in knowing that so many people love you and are here for you! XOXO
Goodness I am so sorry to hear this news. It is so hard to understand why these things happen. You are certainly in my thoughts and I hope that as each day passes you are able to find more glimmers of light in this dark time.
Oh, I am just heartbroken for you. I am so sorry and I pray God and your friend and family will comfort your sweet heart.
I am so sorry to hear this, you are in my prayers.
I am so so sorry to hear about your news and I know exactly how you are feeling. I lost a baby 2/29/12 (my 2nd miscarriage. After 10 years of trying and giving up hope we found out at Christmas. I felt such a peace with this event in my life and then it was taken from us. I was 15 weeks and it IS devastating, so unfair and all around a shitty time! I will not tell you the usual cliches people say during this sad time b/c it's not what you need to hear or want to hear. At least I didn't. I understand that it's difficult to know the proper thing for people to say with a sad event like this. But to let you know from this woman to you...you will have moments to cry, get angry, and look at others through slit eyes and it's OK! I do hope you will find comfort and peace in time. I am still on that path and truly each day a tiny bit gets better. May each day bring a ray of sunshine to your life no matter what it is.
