A Song for Our Sweetheart

My sweet husband randomly thought of a song that reminded him of our little angel.  He wanted to share that moment with me and we listened to it thinking of our little one.  I have to admit, I still break down when thinking of how much I miss her. (I'm still convinced it was a girl.). Below are the lyrics to the song.  Obviously, not all of it applies since we planned to be pregnant, but the sentiment is just as meaningful.  So to anyone out there who has been there.  I share this moment with you.  If you want to listen to the song, YouTube Ten by Yellowcard.



  • I found out in the fall I've been gone
    On the road for a year
    She said,
    "Honey, I've got real bad news" and
    Then there were just tears
    And we would never be the same again
    Since then I've often wondered
    What you might have been like
    How it would have felt to hold you,
    Would you have my eyes?
    Don't you think we would've been best friends?

    You would be ten and I'd be
    Driving you to school
    You would tell all your friends
    That you thought I was cool
    And you would have
    All the love in my heart
    Yeah, you would have
    All the love in my heart

    We were twenty-two years young then
    Breaking rules all around
    We were
    Moving in that first apartment
    It felt like it was never gonna end
    Both so lost and crazy
    We were young so we ran
    Now I live in a dream where I am
    Holding your little hands
    I never got to meet you, my best friend

    You would be ten and I'd be
    Driving you to school
    You would tell all your friends
    That you thought I was cool
    You would be out in the sun
    Until it was gone
    You would be watching Star Wars
    With your PJ's on
    And you would have
    All the love in my heart
    Yeah, you would have
    All the love in my heart

    Mm
    Mm

    Don't you think we would have been best friends?

    You would be ten and I'd be
    Driving you to school
    You would tell all your friends
    That you thought I was cool
    You would be out in the sun
    Until it was gone
    You would be watching Star Wars
    With your PJ's on
    You would be playing tunes on
    On your first guitar
    You would be harmony to
    Every single part of me
    And you have
    All the love in my heart
    Yeah, you would have
    All the love in my heart

    Mm
    Mm

    It's not about an abortion, but about a miscarriage his girlfriend had.

    Yeah, I think the song is about a miscarriage Ryans girlfriend had ten years ago, she called to tell him on phone" Honey iv got real bad news, and there were just tears." But now he wish he got to meet his child he never got to see. "I never got to meet you my bestfriend".
    Great song, I can soo much relate to it

  • Song Meaning:
    This song is about an abortion. "Both so lost and crazy. We were young so we ran." They were young so they aborted their child. And though it was probably what was best at the time he is wondering what the kid would have turned out like. And he says "22 years young" which indicates he felt he was too young for a child. Ryan Key is 32 now, so yeah the kid would have been 10 this year.

We are Fighters

I didn't expect to have an update this soon, but what I need to realize is I need to stop having any expectations.  I have no clue which obstacles will continue, how high or low the hills will be, and there is not a single thing I can do about it.  The reason I say this is because I didn't think my appointment on Monday to have the ultrasound would be a big deal.  My husband, Tim, insisted my mom come with me since he had to work and I asked her even though I saw no point.  This wasn't supposed to be a big appointment and I already knew what the situation was.  I knew I had a heart-shaped uterus so what else was there to worry about?  Wrong again. As I'm sitting on the table with the nurse examining my lady business, I asked her what she saw.  Of course she played it safe and told me my doctor would go over everything with me.  She was nice about it, but it still annoyed me.  Just tell me already, no your not a doctor but you also know what you are looking at.  Luck

New Beginnings

 I’ve been drafting this in my head for days. It has been 5 days since our second child was born and even typing the word “second” feels surreal and still selfish. The selfishness comes from when I was yearning for just one.  Looking back at my first post, I need to tell that girl that her journey would be long and there would be times she would feel hopeless, lost, and alone. I would also tell her she needs to be strong because each bump on this treacherous road would lead her to exactly where she was meant to be.  I am not going to lie and say I was ever truly confident during this pregnancy. I was terrified  all the time. It was a version of PTSD where I kept waiting for the loss to happen. That doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy and soak in carrying our second little one. I soaked in every minute, but I just made sure to leave enough of a guard up, just in case.  What I couldn’t have predicted was how successful this pregnancy would be. Every time I was met with a scare, this little one s

A Competent Cervix Success Story After a LEEP and IVF

  We all know Dr. Google can be pretty negative when all we really want is to find some reassuring news. This was all I wanted when I found out that the combination of my LEEP procedure (scraping early Cancer off my cervix) and IVF can lead to an incompetent cervix. An incompetent cervix is when your cervix basically can’t handle pregnancy and you deliver early without typical contractions.  My OB informed me they would be monitoring every two weeks from weeks 16 - 24 to measure and make sure no folding occurs. What did I do the minute I got in the car? I searched for any success stories, which ended up being hard to come by. My hope is that my success story will reassure others.  Biweekly Monitoring If you find yourself in this situation, you’ll get to see your little every two weeks with cute ultrasound pics included. It was really nice getting extra face time with our growing peanut. We also got to see his heartbeat  and, after three losses, this was really reassuring. These ultraso
