Saying Goodbye To A Heartbeat

This was my third pregnancy, and it had ended as my 2nd miscarriage. Gabriella Grace was real, my grandmother even sent out news of her upcoming birth in her famous monthly newsletter. Nine years after the birth of our daughter Cassie, I was finally ready to get pregnant again and walk past my fears. 

If you would have asked me at the age of 4, I would have told you that I was going to have 100 kids. I had the instinct of a mother from a very small child. I carried babies around during church from the age of 5 (I kid you not, ask my family).  All I wanted to do was be a mom. Little did I know the heartbreak I would walk through to have that dream. 

This pregnancy was so special because of having a 9 year old daughter, and we had asked her if she was ok with being 9 years older than a sibling. She came to the doctor’s appointments with us. She was so excited and very involved. The moment we were all in the room together and saw the little heartbeat on the sonogram was a moment I will never forget.  And then...there was no heartbeat. Gabriella Grace was my third pregnancy and my 2nd miscarriage (out of 3). We will never forget your heartbeat, little one. 

I don’t share this story to be heavy or sad. It’s just a story that was heavy on my heart to share because as a woman that has walked through tragic heartbreak and trauma, my mission is to share my story for others that are walking through this same experience so we can walk in a healing journey together. 

#metoo movement is powerful and more than just one situation. It’s a movement of being vulnerable on all of our stories and truths to heal.
