I have debated on if I should post the following on my blog. This is a blog about my illustration after all with a little life mixed in. But, because I danced around it in the last post and I think that it is something that is kept secret when it should not be. Because many of you who read this are my friends, I have decided to tell. The post might disappear though if I have decided that too much sharing has happened.

I was pregnant again after our loss in February. I'm not anymore. This time we found out earlier. It is something that I prayed wouldn't happen but it did. And it does happen to a lot more women that you realize.

I'm keeping myself busy with a book idea and just enjoying the here and now. We're okay.

Oh Courtney. . . I am so very sorry to hear this. I have been through this myself. We lost our first child when it was very early on, but the mental anguish was so awful. Took us two and a half years to get pregnant with my son after that one and the pregnancy with him was pretty shaky. Won't go into that here. . .but. . .had some nervous months during it. Then it took us two and a half years to have my daughter. I had some pretty angry, sad and crying days. . .months. . .years.

Take it easy on yourself. Pamper yourself a bit and let yourself have some down time to deal with it. It's great that you are doing art. . .seriously great. But do be easy on you. . .

You will be in my prayers dear wonderful Courtney! Share with us all you want. . .we love ya!

Hugs
Sherry

Hi Courtney,
I can't even to pretend to imagine what that must feels like, I'm really sorry to hear this. I know what you mean about telling personal things on our blogs, but I am glad you are able to share this with us and hopefully that will help a little with your healing process.
thoughts and prayers. xo

Hi Courtney, me again. I am so sorry to hear that but you're right, I think it is much more common than you really hear about. When a friend of mine was pregnant for the first time, her doctor said to her, "OK, When you have a miscarriage..." and she was floored! But it is your body making sure you have the healthiest little one possible.
I'm glad you shared here - i think it can be an outlet for a lot of things, because after all life feeds art and vice versa. I hope you can find some healing and release through your art!
Thinking of you Courtney...
