Not Our Time

The blood test came back negative.

A day later, I’ve just begun to bleed. 

Five babies have died inside me in less than two months.

I don’t know why, I really thought this time was the time.  The blasts were were the strongest of the bunch.  They were already hatching. 

We have two more tries, and we’ll start again in January or February.  That’s not far away.  But I need to get through the holidays first, take a breath, process.  I know the spirit will eventually rally, but for now, the heart is broken.
