Exploding Unicorn

...and that's where we get the saying, "It exploded like a unicorn."

Olivia

I’ve been putting off this post for nearly two months, but I have to deliver this message eventually. We lost the baby June 12. The umbilical cord got tangled around the baby’s neck about three months before her due date. It was a freak accident. Because there was nothing genetically wrong with our daughter, Lola and I shouldn’t have any trouble conceiving again.

At some point I plan to write a fitting tribute for our daughter, but this is neither the time nor the place. In the next week or two, I plan to start writing new blog entries. Lola and I are doing fine, and we still look forward to starting a family. Thanks for your patience. This website will return to happier maters very soon.

    Oh, no... jesus. Glad Lola and yourself are 'doing fine', it would be a further tragedy should this event silence you. Take as much time as you need, we'll be here.

    Oh My! I am sorry! I cant believe you can keep your head high and still remain optimistic. Most people would simply just shut themselves in. Just remember we are with you.
