Well, at least not anymore. When everything was still very fresh, I didn't like to see babies or pregnant women, so I actually deleted some pregnant friends off my facebook, just because I was tired of seeing their ultrasound pictures in my newsfeed every time I logged on. With blogs though, I could choose whether I wanted to read it or not. <br /><br />I'm so very happy for you, and I'll still be around, no matter what you decide to write about.Nika M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15716308480356654189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8935231438654619468.post-20979365471123243282011-08-16T09:08:29.734-07:002011-08-16T09:08:29.734-07:00I started a seperate blog for my rainbow and didn&...I started a seperate blog for my rainbow and didn't really talk much about pregnancy stuff on Lily's blog.

I hope the follower that left your blog didn't do it out of unhappiness for you b/c I am a firm believer in being there for each other in the times of joy and sadness...Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02695243793883254621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8935231438654619468.post-45623214537571766822011-08-16T07:01:48.339-07:002011-08-16T07:01:48.339-07:00I have been torn as well, but the reason I started...I have been torn as well, but the reason I started to write was specifically as a journal/emotional release and to document this experience and as Laura Jane said to see where I was and how far I have come. If people choose to stop reading then that is their choice and I wouldn't take it personal. When their time comes for a subsequent pregnancy they will probably find solace in being able to come back and see that what they are feeling is completely normal I know I do.<br /> I am glad you are continuing to write about your pregnancy and not starting a new page. Our lives are forever altered, but continue on and every event after the loss of our angel becomes part of our new life including subsequent children. I look forward to seeing where your journey goes and everything that goes along with that :)Darceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11815399702690690011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8935231438654619468.post-42789376762344544742011-08-15T19:15:12.838-07:002011-08-15T19:15:12.838-07:00The way I see it, we're all blogging about our...The way I see it, we're all blogging about our angels, because we've been forever changed. Subsequent pregnancies are just another step in the process. I keep reading after I find out a BLM is pregnant, partly because I want to know those feelings as well... It's easier now that I'm expecting too... I plan to keep blogging on the same page... Kristen will always be a huge part of my life, and she has shaped the way I look at things now, why not reflect that in my blog?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8935231438654619468.post-78378994283774859462011-08-15T18:59:29.535-07:002011-08-15T18:59:29.535-07:00I think you should do whatever feels right for you...I think you should do whatever feels right for you. Your story is your story, and your new pregnancy is part of it. Like Laura said, if people stop reading it's probably because of them, not you. Personally, I am happy to read about the good things that happen to people after they've had to suffer the pain of losing a child. A new child is such a gift, and I'm glad you are sharing along with the rest of your story!Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00136730311790093702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8935231438654619468.post-84430769924837383832011-08-15T17:34:28.215-07:002011-08-15T17:34:28.215-07:00I've been mulling over the same thing myself. ...I've been mulling over the same thing myself. I thought about making a separate blog for our current pregnancy but decided that not to do that. I have noticed that not as many people are commenting on my blog since I've started posting about this pregnancy. I feel bad if I've hurt anyone's feelings...or if people feel like I'm rubbing the pregnancy in their face...<br /><br />However, I feel like this baby's story started with Matthew and Joshua. Without those two and what we went through with them, we wouldn't be where we are now. That's just how I see it.<br /><br />I'm glad that you're going to continue to blog about your pregnancy because it is part of your journey. Hope everyone continues to follow you, and if not, maybe they will follow you once they get to a better place in their own grief.*Lauren*https://www.blogger.com/profile/01350284828027444174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8935231438654619468.post-66558229167464903662011-08-15T17:04:25.950-07:002011-08-15T17:04:25.950-07:00I am glad you wrote a post explaining yourself.

Most women who lose a baby do go on to have another and it all is part of the healing process in my opinion.<br />I look forward to hearing about your pregnancy.ccchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17911664153987604602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8935231438654619468.post-70957145922151298692011-08-15T15:46:15.302-07:002011-08-15T15:46:15.302-07:00I know when I'm pregnant, I'll continue to...I know when I'm pregnant, I'll continue to post on my blog about it. I very much read blogs about people who have gone on to be pregnant, or have rainbows... In the same way as I like to look back on my earlier posts to see how far I've come, I very much like to see what the emotional effects come with a new pregnancy.<br /><br />But I'm not everyone, and there are people who won't want to read about it, so they'll skip your blog or stop following. Maybe, once they're ready, they'll find you again to check-in on you and re-follow.<br /><br />BTW, if people stopped following you because you're pregnant, I would imagine it as a case of them not being able to read it, rather than them being put-off or not happy for you. It's just hard sometimes, you know? :)Lj82https://www.blogger.com/profile/01067562341189588336noreply@blogger.com
