I have been at a loss for words lately as an online friend of mine has had to say goodbye to her little girl. This friend is now a member of the "two time" DBM group. To lose a baby once is just unfair, to go through it again is completely unfathomable. My heart just aches for her. I wish there were something I could say or do to make her pain more bearable (b/c we all know it won't go away).
With this going on, it doesn't seem right to post all about Riley. My short update is:
She is outgrowing many of her clothes - the newborn size.
We have moved her to her room for nightime...which makes mommy quite nervous.
And I think her soft spot is getting bigger - I'm watching it like a hawk, though.
For good news, Holly has had her baby and they are doing well. Gwen's appearance is a true miracle and something to be quite thankful for. Go wish Holly happy motherhood at Empty Arms (http://missinggregory.blogspot.com/).
Lastly, my request to all of you is that you please say a prayer (or whatever you do) for Heather and her baby Hannah. She needs all the love she can get. Also add Gwen to your prayer list that she may gain weight and maintain her body temp so that she can go home with her parents soon.

So hard to be completely happy when you know things like this still happen. I pray for both mothers and their babies.
I'm so sorry for your friends - just so sorry.
They - and you - will be in my prayers.
Many prayers to those on your list, especially for your friend. You are right... Once is heartache enough for a lifetime. Multiple times... There arent words. If she ever wants to talk to another multiple loss mom, please dont hesitate to send her my email.
I feel the same. I want to write about our little one but everytime I sit down I cant find the words and most of the time just end up crying. It really sucks when you have been there yourself and know there are no "right" words it just figuring out how to move forward....
Happy that Riley is getting big and sleeping in her room. Wonderful to hear. Take care, momma. Luv ya...
