I wanted to say thank you. Thank you for the compassion that you all have shown me over the past week and a half. Thank you for the encouragement and kind words regarding my recent pregnancy loss.<\/p>\n
I’ve gotta say, life has not been easy since that event took place. Jobs have fallen through. Rejections from shows. Bronchitis on top of the recovery from the ectopic pregnancy. I haven’t been sleeping at night very well. I’ve been tossing and turning. When I fall asleep, I dream that I am healthy and pregnant. That the job was still a go. That I was shopping for baby clothes and planning our family’s future. Then I wake up. And remember that I am still waiting for the end of this pregnancy nightmare. I have to go in for weekly blood work until my hCG levels are back down to 0. <\/p>\n
Waking up to a nightmare. Not finding comfort in rest. Trying to move forward. I feel like a pit of sadness. I’ve turned to junk food and binge watching Grey’s Anatomy on Netflix. Anything to forget. <\/p>\n
I started working again. And honestly when I was drawing I felt free. I felt like I was escaping. <\/p>\n
Tonight there was a double rainbow. Friends were posting photos of it all over Facebook. My friend Amber called it confetti in the sky. Ironically, from my house all I could see was a tiny sliver of color. It felt appropriate, because I am barely feel anything positive. Barely seeing the beauty in the clouds. <\/p>\n
My husband doesn’t find anything meaningful in symbolism. It is the scientist in him. Sometimes that is incredibly discouraging, especially when I am grasping at something to hope for. A sign. But still I hope that the rainbow tonight was just for me. So that I could remember that this moment in time will soon will be a distant memory. Maybe someday I will be holding a new baby in my arms. Maybe someday Nathan will get the job. Maybe someday there will be beauty instead of pain. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
