First of all I just want to say “Thank You” to every one who has reached out to me when they found out that I had a #miscarriage this week with a two month old. Your love and support has really helped me get through this very dark time in my life. It’s only been 3-4 days but I am doing much better. I feel like I have done a whole month of healing in just the past few days by talking about it, journalling, listening to the stories from so many other moms that have gone through this painful situation (sometimes multiple times) and how they have coped. It has also been helpful to talk about (the stages of) grief and loss. I also have to trust that my higher power has plans and has done me a favor by making a decision for me that I may have been unable to make myself if the baby was going to be very sick or had a negative fate. . Before I even tried for a baby, I had a spiritual healer tell me that there was a spirit waiting or me, but she said that I am not ready yet. (I decided to fall pregnant anyway, and lost the baby). I wonder if it means that timing is everything because I do believe that your child chooses you. . . Another story that had me hopeful was a friend of a friend had a three year old and the child said to her mommy “Do you remember that time that I was in your tummy, but then I had to go away...but then I came back?”. The mom was not a very spiritual lady but did had a miscarriage before her child and was just gobsmacked. . . In about two weeks time I will get the lab results back to see if they can determine what was the cause of death of my little baby. If it comes back inconclusive, I have decided that I’m ok with that. I am not going to try question and over analyze everything, or blame myself. . This week we were meant to find out the gender of our baby at our regular OB appointment but now we will be finding out the gender when we get the lab results back. Our baby was a gender selection baby through the Erickson Method Sperm Spinning procedure conducted at the Southern California Reproductive Centre. We were hoping for a girl and this procedure helped push the odds up by 73%. So it will be interesting to see if it worked.

It’s so hard to write this post so I’ll keep it super short and will fill it all in later when I feel strong enough mentally. . I was just over two months pregnant and yesterday got the shock of my life that my beautiful little babies heartbeat had stopped. I have been an emotional wreck!! Today around noon I had my baby removed and it was very emotional for me. That is all I can say right now because tears are filling up my eyes again but thank you to my amazing husband and the the outpouring of love and support from friends, family and other moms who have also miscarried. I really appreciate you all and you make me not feel alone. .(I’ll get back to some of your messages when I can). ❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭👼🏻👼🏻👼🏻 . . .. #missingyou #angelbaby #angelbabies #miscarriage #miscarriagesurvivor #miscarriageawareness #miscarriagesupport #easterfriday #thisdayinhistory #thisdaywillneverbethesame #sadmom #momblogger #momblog #mommyandme #momentsofmine #

I really wanted to write something really positive here, but I got some sad life changing news today that has made my whole world come crashing down. Emotionally drained and heading back to bed! . . . . . . .#momlife #momslife #ididnotwakeuplikethis #beachshoot #beachphotoshoot #resortwear #momswhoblog #momswhoinspire #momswhomodel #momblogger #holidaydestination #lamodel #peakmodels #expectingmodels #miscarriage #glamshoot #sunsetlover #photoshoot #photoshootideas #fashioncampaign #instamodels #instamodeling #instagood #brunettemodel #greeneyedgirl #pinksunset #exoticgirl #australianmodel #australianmodels #fashionmodel

I made this post out of frustration when we went to @sizzlerusa and my husband took my son to the bathroom to change our sons diaper and wash his hands before lunch and he came back because there was no appropriate place in there to change him. Of course there was a change table in the ladies so I got quite annoyed about how sexist this place was. They could have easily have mounted a change table in the disabled toilet.. . Family restaurants and Shopping Centers need facilities for dads to change their kids diapers. . ‼️What if mom was not even around??? How would the dad change the baby⁉️🤷🏼‍♀️ . ❤️If you agree, like this post by @grey_and_gold_blog and tag another mom or dad. The culture needs to change and so does the facilities for some of these outdated places. 👉🏻If you know a place that provides a change table in the men’s, that is AMAZING!!! They deserve recognition. . (I mention only family restaurants and “family” places ONLY because I don’t quite know how appropriate it is to change a little baby girl in full view (if there is no disabled bathroom for privacy) in an establishment that is less appropriate ...where men get a bit rowdy or have been drinking or less dads around). . . . . . . #dadsofinstagram #dadsanddaughters #dadstuff #dadsonduty #dadlife #singledad #gaydads #dadsareawesome #menstoilet #changetable #babychangetable #familyrestaurant #familylife #diaperchangefail #diaperchange #momchallenge #momlife #venting #lunchtime #dinnertime #westfield #westfieldmall #mall #shoppingcentre #funnybuttrue #stupidbutfunny #tablesetting #flowers #pinktable @postmuse.app

Today @cammies_world and I took my son to Disneyland for the first time as he will never have such an easy opportunity to again once we eventually move back to Australia. . My heart was so big watching his face as he went on his first ride “It’s a small world”. As we entered the tunnel to reveal what was inside, he kept saying “wow...wow...wowwww”. Hahahah. . I have a ton of video and footage but don’t want to splash my son all over the internet. #disneyland #disneyselfie #momlife #losangeles #losangelesmodel #losangelesstyle #thingstodoinla #california #instamom #fashionblogger #beauty #beautybloggers #momandson #daytripswithkids #aspecialday #tuesdayvibes #sunsetlover #sunset_super_pics #sunsetoftheday #sunset @postmuse.app @disneyland @disney @waltdisneyworld
