One of the things that has been very important to me is including my first dog, Oreo, in my major life moments. When I moved away she stayed with my parents, but she was my first dog, my first baby, and will forever remain that way. She could not attend our wedding ceremony, here in MA, but when we held a party in Canada she was present. I got some fabulous photos of me in my wedding dress with her.<\/p>\n

So as time ticked by when we were trying to get pregnant, it worried me. I wanted my child to get to meet her, to get photos with her, before she passed on. She’s not young anymore, and as the years passed with no pregnancy I really thought my chance was slipping away.<\/p>\n

When I got pregnant she was still doing really well, and I was thrilled! Maybe time wasn’t too short, after all. We planned a trip after the baby was born, to finally get that picture. I was still nervous, though, nervous that something would happen to Oreo.<\/p>\n

But instead my child died.<\/p>\n

We actually went to visit last Christmas, but looking through the photos I realize I have none of me with Oreo… none with Devin with Oreo. It was a sad Christmas, saying goodbye to Tessa (the other dog), who was dying of cancer. I do have photos of Oreo, just none with me and her together. I didn’t realize time was so short. No one thought such a tragedy was right around the corner.<\/p>\n

Oreo is still alive at over 13 years old, still doing well. I wonder if she will hold on long enough to see my next child. I don’t know if we will have another chance.<\/p>\n

I live in fear of a phone call.<\/p>\n
