Pregnancy after loss is one of the most difficult and painful thing I've ever had to do. It's taxing emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually. It's a hard experience to describe, but below is a compilation of blog posts that express how I felt during my pregnancies with Aidan and Kimball.
I know I couldn't have gone through the pregnancy with Aidan (and later Kimball and Lincoln) without the help of my Savior Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father. They are who gave me daily strength, faith, hope, love, and light, and I am forever grateful to Them.
I've learned that grief isn't a one-time thing, and it's constantly evolving. It's something that will stay with me throughout the rest of my life - that is the price I have to pay for all of the fierce love I have for my baby boy Alma.
I've also learned that joy can be found in the precious moments life offers. I just have to be willing and still enough to look for it. Even though grief is crippling at times, it is possible to look forward, step forward, and walk forward.
It's okay to not be okay. BUT, it is also okay to be okay. To be happy, even amidst the trials life throws at you.
We can all do hard things.
AIDAN
He's finally here!
