On the Topic of Miscarriage

I’m not sure what compelled me to write this but it’s going to be a ramble–it may lack cohesiveness.  Perhaps it’s the fact that it seems so many people I follow on instagram are pregnant; or that so many people I know are having more babies, as so many people my age do.  But mostly, […]
