Pregnancy, Pregnant After a Late Loss, Pregnant After a Loss, Yoda

Be Alright

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPfhyfaJgGs&w=420&h=315]) What a difference a year makes. I'm typing this post with a semi-sleepy Yoda on my boob. I'm sure you wanted to know that but you can't deny I've been honest for this long so why hold back now? A year ago, I found out I was pregnant and I remember I had a flurry of emotions go through me. The biggest emotion was relief. We were trying for a
