I have quite a bit of blogging to do, about our Christmas and trip home. But as I sit here, all I can think of is my baby. My baby would have been five months old. What would Teagan have looked like? Would she favor the Spicers or the Andersons? Would she have been another high maintenance baby or the happy care free kind. She definitely would have been spoiled by all of us. Five months... it feels like years ago. At times it is hard to remember the person I was before. Not necessarily care-free, there were stresses in my life, but now those worries seem so trivial and unimportant. I have changed these past five months. I am trying to make those changes into something better, instead of for the worse. It feels as if my entire life has been tipped on its head and I'm trying to redefine the things in my world... maybe not redefine, but organize everything into its rightful place with important things were they belong- at the top.
I have felt completely out of control. I couldn't control my body to carry Teagan to term, my life didn't follow the plan I had, and I am completely out of control of my emotions. Break downs are spacing out and it is getting better and I try to control these too. It doesn't work, I try to allow myself time to cry but the tears won't come when they are on the schedule, they like take me off guard. Haha, figures! I have faith, but my trust has been shaken. I feel vulnerable and there is no way to protect myself from life. I know that just because we have gone through this hell, it doesn't exempt me from future trials and that scares the crap out of me! So, I have thrown my hands up in the air and decided to lose control. I am trying to turn control over to the Lord. He is the only one who knows what is really going on and what will happen. Heavenly Father, you have my cooperation... guide me! I pray for guidance and peace. Also time to heal, I don't think I could handle any more big trials right now. Heavenly Father, guide me back home to my baby girl!

ME TOO!!!!
Oh gosh, every word. So true. Sometimes I feel broken. Sometimes I'm so terrified about this new pregnancy and also life in general.
It never does go away, does it. Not all the way.
Sobbing over here. Sobbing. I so feel the SAME!!! Isn't it crazy how it can feel like it has been so long? This week will mark 6 months! 6 months since I help Pierce, 6 months since I kissed him, and all the other things I wish I could do right now! This sucks. haha Life is scary. It is hard for me not to wonder and worry about what else might be in store for me, that I can't control.
Written beautifully! Love Ya..
I totally know how you feel too. My brain is so scrambled and I feel like I have zero control of my sadness and my aching, exhausting body. I hate how everyone's lives go on and we're still trying to follow behind them broken, struggling to keep up.
Loves to you and sweet Teagan.
I agree with all of the comments...
So beautiful...it's hard realizing that we really don't have much control down here. I am such a control freak that learning this lesson (still learning really) has been a challenge.
Thinking of you!
Beautifully written and so true!! Your an amazing mama. Praying for you hoping you feel a bit of peace! Hugs so sorry lives such a roller coaster of emotions!
Jennie,
I love how honest you are. I like how you say you (we) cannot be protected from life. We are given trials on this earth and hard things and we have to learn to accept them and deal with them as they come. You are a strong person, even if you have breakdowns and lose control, its only normal to do those things. Try to remember in those moments how loved you are and you are not alone.
