Today was the due date for our baby. Cait and I had a quiet, thoughtful day together and planted a flowering quince that will bloom each year around this date as a symbol of our love, loss, and hope.
I thought of you two yesterday, and almost called - but decided to let you have the day for the two of you. The plant is a lovely way to memorialize your angel.
We have both known for as long as we can remember that we wanted to have kids. We decided to start down the road to parenthood about three years ago, beginning with research. In May of 2004 we began inseminating, and in July, we hit the jackpot. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a partial molar pregnancy, and we endured a miscarriage, followed by months of medical treatment, monitoring, and frustration. We began trying to conceive again in May 2005 (against our doctor's advice). We were lucky to get pregnant again in July. Despite our fears and worries, this pregnancy went smoothly and ended with a wonderful home birth and a beautiful baby girl. A new chapter begins....
