My Christmas Miscarriage

We had driven 6 hours with 5 kids.

I was 11 weeks pregnant and knew I was miscarrying the pregnancy. Believe it or not, I'd had 5 other miscarriages.

But this one was super inconvenient, since we were getting together with my extended family for Christmas.

Playing games, hanging out. Eating good food. All seemed fine. I wasn't devastated by the miscarriage. I'd been there before.

Except the situation was “too heavy” and by the time Christmas morning rolled around, I was dizzy every time I stood up because I'd lost so much blood. We decided to drive to the hospital, a 1-hour drive ON CHRISTMAS DAY!

It was too much tension for one car ride. We had left our 4 oldest kids with my parents. On Christmas Day. One-year-old Jane was in her carseat behind us.

And my husband Heathcliffe and I began to bicker. And a 1 hour car ride with bickering – during a miscarriage, on Christmas Day – is just plain stupid.

By the time we arrived at the hospital, Jane was asleep so Heathcliffe stayed in the car with her. I walked alone into the emergency room. On Christmas Day.

As soon as I saw the doctor I said, “I'm having a miscarriage. I'm rH negative so I need a Rhogam shot.”

She replied, “Ma'am, how did you get here?”

Me: “My husband's in the car with our baby, who's asleep. I promise.”

She looked skeptical. She probably thought I was high. So she wasted an hour of my time ordering a test of my hormone levels – to make SURE I was pregnant.

I was.

Next, she ordered a test to make sure I was rH negative. And she finally, mercifully, gave me an IV. Which took the staff 45 minutes to stick because I was so dehydrated.

Another hour later the doctor came in to tell me, “Yes. You're rH negative.”

Really?

I got my shot, my husband and Jane came inside to hang out while I finished the IV, and then we were on our way back to my parents.

6 hours, wasted. On Christmas Day.

That day CHANGED EVERYTHING.

That day I opened my eyes, looked around, and realized EVERY SECOND IS SO STINKING PRECIOUS!!!!

Why had I wasted so much time? Why had I sacrificed so much of my happiness trying to be the “perfect mom”? What exactly was I “doing” with my life? Why wasn't I doing ANYTHING I was passionate about? What was I born to do?

These are the questions that spurred me on to create a time management system that helps me maximize every precious second so I'm doing more of the things I love. The things that move me closer to my vision and that help me live my true purpose.
