I just lost my beautiful baby girl. She was only 19 days old. When she died, I lost my hopes, dreams, future as well as part of myself. Ater she died, I learned it was because of a rare genetic disorder called Incontinentia Pigmenti, which she inherited from me. I never knew I had it as I have no symptoms. With IP the chances of having a healthy child are only 50%. This is my life without my baby. My struggle to face every day as I long for my daughter and hope for a healthy child.

Back To Work
Tomorrow is my first day of going back to work. I'm really nervous about it. Sitting at my desk, helping clients, the whole environment will bring back memories the last time I was there. The old me, the excited mother-to-be, expecing a lifetime of happiness with her soon to be child. Not a care in the world. This will be hard. I work in sales, with 100's of clients, most of whom will greet me happily, 'yeah your back, how's the baby? ....my 300+ clients, people in the other showrooms, the receptionist, the security guard, the lady who cleans the bathrooms...none of them know...I will have to tell them. This scares me, I am not strong enough yet, how will I tell them, what will I say? Will I cry? ugghh...I know this is something I have to do, going back to work might be good for me. A little distraction. I work with wonderful people (who all know), they will support me and will be sensitive to what happened. It's just the people that don't know, the questions, the reactions, I will have to be strong.
