“We’ve been trying to get pregnant again and with every negative pregnancy test I either want to curl in a ball and cry, or scream and yell at the top of my lungs, ‘why?'” she shared. “I’m trying so hard not to be a ‘Debbie downer,’ but sometimes my emotions get the best of me.”
Jamie and Doug’s late son, Johnathan Edward, was expected to be due on December 20th, something Jamie is still working through.
“Johnny, today marks one week before you were due,” she captioned a photo of her necklace on Instagram. “While everyone is all excited and full of cheer for the holidays I find myself plastering a smile on my face just so I don’t make it obvious how much it hurts inside. Is it crazy to miss you as much as I do? Am I insane for thinking about what you may look like and daydreaming about what could be if you remained safe and sound inside me…it’s been 5 months and sometimes it still feels like I just lost you yesterday.”
Jamie continued, “My precious first born son. I’ll always love you and cherish you sweet angel. I’d rather have you here, but I’m so thankful I have an angel in heaven watching over me.”
