The last 5 weeks the lyrics "Life is what happens when you're busy as making other plans," has been the watchword. This song is Gable's song but this portion has rung through my ears. December 24, 2015 instead of getting a 2nd bunion removed I was handed a positive pregnancy test. Today, January 23, 2016, instead of a due date I was told no heartbeat... expect to miscarry sometime soon. Baby only survived 7 weeks.
Plans were in motion. Sleeping arrangements had been thought of. Workroom was getting cleaned out. Ironing boards had new homes. Beds were getting arranged. Closets reworked. Projects thought of. Disappointment of not getting the surgery had been put aside in the wake of such surprising and exciting news.... then the news changed again today.
"Should be a heartbeat....." I should have had a new baby in August. Now I should have this miscarriage... then I can get pregnant. What happened? Provably something genetic. Why hasn't it vacated... don't know. Should happen sometime soon.
Other plans... now what to try and plan? No plans... even the no plans don't pan out. Don't even have DJ due to an argument last night. No words to help him. Go on as normal even though the normal had been adjusted to the new pregnancy normal. Prenatal vitamins, no extra Vitamin A, no scheduled surgery, weight watching, no teeth bleaching, adjustments had been made. Now new adjustments to make.
Stay close to home, it can happen any time. Be watchful in case you bleed too much. Cramping is going to hurt. You can just flush or whatever you are most comfortable with. Tissue will evacuate. You may see a baby if you look...... Do you want the ultrasound picture? No I can't look, no thank you to the picture is confusing to me.
Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans.... again.
