Yellow daisies of hope

Today was a relaxing day.  Since I was given pain meds my supervisor said I should take at least one more day off.  I am so grateful for her because she is the one doing my job when I'm not there!  I will have a lot to do when I get back but it will be a great distraction.

I wasn't in too much pain today.  Yesterday I ended up having pretty bad cramps at the movies, but I actually didn't need to take anything today.

My mom came by for lunch.  We went to Whole Foods and then went to the beach for a picnic.

It was a beautiful day and I'm so happy I didn't have to spend it at work!  After we ate we took those yellow daisies and tossed them off the pier in memory of our little bean.  My mom said a few words about how happy the baby had made us and how we will miss it.  Then we watched the petals and stems float away:

Something that also has to be done after a miscarriage are a series of blood tests.  I had to get one yesterday, today, and tomorrow so that they could see what is going on with my hormones.

I just want to say thanks to everyone who keeps checking in, saying hi, praying for us..  We really feel the love and blessings.  I've heard stories of when miscarriages effect the mom as well, and I feel lucky to be completely fine (as far as I know).

Tonight my sister-in-law brought us some homemade food and it was amazing!  Thank you Meagan.
