The Swamp

Would do it again. Very much worth it.

(Keep this off social media please. We haven't told family yet.)

Instinct kicks in.

You see smoke rising from your crotch, you look.

We lost what was never truly a baby somewhere between 8 and 10 weeks. Apparently this is what's called a "silent miscarriage" in which we were in fact pregnant but an embryo never developed inside the gestational sac, and the body hasn't passed it naturally. No heartbeat, no sign of life at any point, which is making this much easier in my eyes. Can't really lose something you don't ever have in the first place. There's worse details I'll spare you, but we're doing fine emotionally and the wife is recovering physically far faster that I would have expected with what her body went through to get her back to more or less square one. Thanks for all your messages. The trying is the fun part, so we'll get back on that train soon I'm sure.

No need for much more, just didn't want to leave my internet homeys in the lurch. Y'all are great. I'll elaborate below but will spare people that don't want details.
