Miscarriage

I just got use to the fact that this baby has made it well past the point of a miscarriage....17 weeks today. So we have already stenciled this baby in as part of the family, then the unexpected. I started cramping and having all the signs of a miscarriage. I thought I must have worked out too hard at the gym, so take it easy. But after a full day of denial and rethinking everything, I came to the conclusion the next day it could only mean one thing. A miscarriage. So Suzy-Mom came over to watch the kids, and my mom and I went to the hospital. It was the longest 5 and half hours of my life. The ultrasound confirmed my realization, the baby had died. It was a little boy, I believe.
The craziest thing is I have never been so sick like during this pregnancy. I literally laid on the couch for 2 months. I finally got to the 2nd trimester and realized I got to the good stage. But not the case!
So pass the word along, that makes it easier!

Raina...I'm so sorry. I'm sure that's really hard. I'm sure he's up in heaven just waiting for when he can be with your family.

Oh, sweetie, I'm so sorry. I think I cried for 2 days straight after mine. It is amazing how attached you get to a little person you've never met. I hope you can find peace right now. (((hugs)))
