On December 23rd, exactly 5 months into my pregnancy, I had a miscarriage. We were so surprised (more like shocked) when we found out this past fall that we were going to have another baby. Another year of breastfeeding, more diapers, more chubby cheeks to kiss and bite. We are absolutely devastated by this loss.
I am taking some time off to spend with my children and husband without timelines or deadlines. Very soon I will be back at my loom, throwing picks right to left and left to right, letting my mind sort out what happened. It’s been a whirlwind and I look forward to the precious hours I can play with yarn.

I am so sorry to hear of this loss for your family. I lost a baby at 4.5 months almost 4 years ago–I know your pain. Time will not make it disappear, but it will lessen with time.
If you’re a reader, I recommend “empty cradle, broken heart,”–it got me through some very dark hours when the loss for me was still fresh.

Thank you for sharing your grief and for welcoming good wishes from all of us. Like you, I lost my first baby at five months many years ago and the sadness is very deep. But like you, I have other children and I hope you surround yourself with their love and comfort. Much love as you take this time for yourself and your family.

It has been too long between visits. I’m saddened to hear this news. I hope you’re doing ok. I wish I could give you a big hug! It’s always nice to know that regardless of what happens in life, the loom is always waiting and never asks questions, it just lets you weave and sort it all out. Please take care k x
