Journal 35 - Morning/ Mourning

I slept most of yesterday. I think that most of my pain medication is wearing off now. I'm debating whether to take more. It's a work day so I need to stay alert but there is a dull ache and sometimes sharp cramps in my stomach. I'm still bleeding. I passed most everything yesterday, I believe. It was nice to sleep and rest. When Mom brought Ace home last night, my stomach really started to hurt and I got exhausted fast. He, at least, snuggled in my lap for about 30 minutes while Mom took Jonathan to pick up his car from the ER where he left it yesterday. I am so grateful for Ace. Having had one healthy pregnancy really gives me hope. I know that I should spend some time mourning this baby and dealing with the grief. Right now, I just prefer to look forward and hope that the doctor will tell me today that I can have more children. The pain is my reminder, I guess. I made it through the first phone calls with family. Those were the toughest, I think. I know that nobody knows what to say. I don't really either. Jonathan bought a new tree for the front yard. Out of the love languages, gifts are the least meaningful to me...but that tree will always be the most treasured gift he's ever given me. If we ever move, we'll have to uproot it.

On to work and the welcome distraction it brings.
