Hello Everyone,

I have recently been approved as an affiliate photographer for nilmdts. I was excited and honored when I found at the I would be a part of this amazing organization.

literally the day after I filled out my application, I found out I was pregnant. We were thrilled! We have a 3 year old son and had been trying for another. I felt good but had the normal physical feelings of pregnancy. About 2 weeks later, I stopped feeling pregnant. I thought it was strange but since it was still so early in my pregnancy (5 weeks) I didn't worry about it. About a week later I started spotting. I tried not to worry and stayed in bed. The bleeding got worse over the next few days and one night (Christmas Eve) I woke up in the middle of the night with cramps and found myself soaked. I knew then that I had miscarried. Christmas day was difficult. I was as cheerful as I could be, trying to make sure that my son enjoyed his Christmas. I am pretty sure he did.

I went and had the blood work done and finally got confirmation on January 5th that I was in fact no longer pregnant. I was not eager to see the doctor as I knew this was the case.

Anyway, having had the past 2 weeks to recupe, I am back at work and busier than ever. For the most part I feel ok but every once in a while I get sad and think about her, I know it was a girl.

I have been reading all of your stories here over the past few months and never imagined that I woud be posting this. I am glad there is such a supportive community to share with. Thank you all in advance for your support.

I, too, am sorry to hear of the loss you have endured. I would like to welcome you to our little community as a photographer, and as someone who has endured a painful loss. I'm sorry that I am able to welcome you in both ways.

You will be able to give so many families a measure of peace and comfort in the work that you do.

Dear Kristine, I'm so sorry about your pregnancy loss....I'm sure it was the most difficult Christmas of your life. We are trying to get pregnant again, and I can't imagine how it would feel to be so disappointed after finally achieving your goal. Thank you also for being willing to join the NILMDTS photographer group -- the work you do is so important. I can't bear to think of a family losing an infant and not having the beautiful photos that we do....thank you for being willing to help. My prayers are with you as you heal from you own loss...

Kristine, I'm so sorry for your loss - my SIL suffered the same loss around the same time I lost Ethan and her saddest moments were not knowing her baby, not being able to hold her baby, not seeing her baby formed. My heart breaks for you as you journey this road of sadness. Please know your sweet baby is missed by us here. Thank you for wanting to be a part of this amazing organization and thank you for helping families capture their day/s with their child. The photographs you give are their greatest lifes gift.
