Everything went well yesterday. The staff at Adventist are great. All along the way they were caring and compassionate. One guy even hilarious. My OB is wonderful! I was able to walk out a couple hours after surgery feeling pretty good. Beth brought us yummy burritos and Guinness. (Only Erik drank Guinness as I was on vicodin, but I tasted a little, just for scientific purposes). Erik and I watched Hot Fuzz and talked Ireland.
Today I'm feeling pretty good. I'm not in pain physically. I'm also feeling good emotionally. I'm feeling happier. I think I'm feeling closure. I'm not saying this isn't still hard to think or talk about, it is. However, I'm not feeling the weight I was before. I feel like I have more energy mentally and physically. Of course, all of this this may change but I can't worry about... that is one sure way to pop one's cork.
Thanks again to everyone who has prayed and sent along kind messages. We have felt loved and cared for. Thank you also for offering to share stories and to listen to mine. I may take you up on that at some point. Thanks for offering food and support. Thanks for all the other things. You have all be great.
Please keep us in your prayers. We will probably start trying for a baby again in May/June. Hopefully Ireland will 'inspire' us!
Love you all

Bonika, My wife (same age as you) and I just went through the exact same cycle, practically to the day, datewise. The surprise of pregnancy, the utter excitement and inability to keep it a secret from anyone and then the sudden emptiness and shock of the whole "blighted ovum" thing. Everything you wrote about your feelings, etc. is so real. I wish I had some magnificently wise words of wisdom, but I really don't. I can only tell you that I think we know almost exactly how you feel and that you aren't alone. Our prayers are certainly with you and wish you all possible luck in the future. Just the fact that you are willing to talk about it and willing to try again in the future shows you are both bright and courageous spirits.
