Good News, Sad News
Well I’m not sure how many brides-to-be are reading this blog, but the good news is that Portovert, a new weddings magazine, has officially launched its publication. You can check out a handful of my articles by clicking on the links below.

My “Ask a Blogger” column is also online here (as usual I’m collecting questions on blogging, so if you can think of any please post them in the comments section or drop me an e-mail jenny.rough@jennyrough.com).
The sad news is that Ron and I found out we lost the baby. I had this idea in my head that if I could just make it to 10 weeks we’d be home free. Everyone I know who has had a miscarriage lost the baby before 10 weeks. I started bleeding at 9 weeks and 6 days. I’ve written a piece that shares the whole story – and I’m in the process of finding a home (publication) for it. I’ll let you know if/when it’s in print.

It is a loss, Jenny, and I'm so sorry. How great that you are writing about it, unfortunately, these trying times do produce some great writing.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Jenny - I'm so very sorry to hear this news and so sorry that you have to walk this path. My niece just called me this morning to let me know they had lost their baby, too. My heart is so sad for you both today but I cling to the belief that a loving and caring God will walk you both through this grief.
Take care of your heart, friend.

Oh, Jenny, I'm so sorry. I wish you weren't living this right now. I'm sending you a cyberhug and the only other thing I have to offer right now - words of wisdom from a book I'm reading:
"Do not ask what the events of your life mean, but take responsibility for creating meaning from the events of your life." Viktor Frankl
Isak Dinesen also said, "All suffering is bearable if it is seen as part of a story."
Jenny, unfortunately, this is part of your & Ron's story. I wish it wasn't so, but I know you will create meaning from it. God bless!

Jenny-I am so sad to read this. I haven't been reading blogs much lately and thought I would get an update. I was sad to read this.
My heart aches for you. I lost two babies as well and eventhough it was early I still felt the loss-deeply.
Take some time to grieve and nurture your body...and to be with Ron. I am so sorry!
