currently pregnant... angel baby would have been due soon... so mixed up right now.

[mommy2star]

I lost our second baby on Sept 1 2013, I should have been 8 weeks, but the baby had died at 6.5 weeks. I am currently pregnant with what feels like a normal and healthy pregnancy, though I still struggle to fully believe that. We are doing our private gender scan at 16weeks, and then planning a huge gender reveal party. But I am worried that my pending due date from our angel baby will be a big black cloud on all of this celebrating. I want to remember our baby, but I also want to feel the same excitement and joy of a brand new start with this baby. Sometimes it feels difficult, like I feel guilty for moving on... even though I don't really think I have... anyone else going through this? How are you dealing?

It is so hard PAL, I truly hope you have a special time with your family. I too fear the anniversary of my son for his first birthday, I will be a complete mess but we are planning either letting balloons go or a butterfly release for the day.

I will also be going into my third trimester.

I am sure many woman have had these thoughts/feelings. You are not alone.
