So maybe it's time to come out...
I've had mixed feelings on if I want to really come out on the boards or not...but, I feel like why not...
Sometimes I feel as though I can't answer posts either at all, or completely truthfully because of being "in hiding"...But at 23 weeks, I feel like hiding is almost more stressful than being out there...Even though half of my friends still don't know I'm pg!
I'm not a poster that I think anyone would guess from anything that I have so far written, so, I guess the easiest way is to just post as my old name...And as silly as it sounds, I am actually nervous about this...

Re: So maybe it's time to come out...
Well, the above post was written by me...
My name is Jillian, and last November I suffered a full-term loss...At 38 weeks 3 days, my daughter Sarah Marie's heart stopped beating. I don't know if anyone that is on the board now was here then, so I'm sure many of you wouldn't even know my story. And I'm not writing for sympathy...I'm writing more to share hope and happiness...
These past almost 11 months have been the most heartbreaking and gutwrenching times of my life. But there have been fantastic times too...I've struggled so much with trying to balance my emotions...Sadness over not having Sarah here, but such joy over the fact that our second child will be coming into this world. I guess that maybe I felt the need to come out because I want the joy to be more present...And I feel like being "me" will help to do that...but I'll be honest, I haven't decided which name I will keep posting with! Snowflake09 is in honor of my daughter - My mom saw a sign somewhere that said "Snowflakes are kisses from Angels"...so I always keep that thought with me...as I know that Sarah is always with me...
I know that there are other people on these boards that have suffered losses, and my heart goes out to each and every one...And for those that know pain, I just want you to know that there are brighter days ahead...as hard as it is to sometimes see that...
So, that's my quick little story...now I feel like I can atleast be honest and open on here. 2011 can't come quick enough!

There is nothing i can say to make you feel better. But just know that your baby girl sarah is looking down on all of you right now and will make sure everything turns out perfect. she was supposed to be your guardian angel

Re: So maybe it's time to come out...
I am tearing up reading that you are on this board!!!! I am so so so happy for you!!!
I have a x-mas ornament that is in the shape of a snowflake that says something to likes of "Snowflakes are kisses from Angels" It hangs on our tree every year.
Congratulations, I wish you all the happiness in the world!!!!

Re: So maybe it's time to come out...
Omg, I'm so sorry about your DD Sarah!!!
I agree with a PP who said that she is now your guardian angel and will watch over you and DH and this new little baby that is growing in your belly, and any other future DC you may have.
Congratulations on your pregnancy and I hope you enjoy it to the fullest!!

I am so happy you shared your story. You will give so many other women strength and courage to share their stories. You forever have a GUARDIAN Angel looking over you and your family. 2011 will bring you so much joy and happiness. Just know that Sarah will be looking down and smiling seeing you happy.
I am so happy for you!!!!! I certainly do think snowflake09 is a perfect name, I wouldnt change back.

I will be praying for you everytime I pray for myself! Even though our stories are different, I know how hard it is to fully embrace a new pregnancy. I didnt come out until 17 weeks b/c I literally started shaking everytime I tried to. Luckily we both have Rachel for encouragement
