On Wednesday February 1, at 18 1/2 weeks (about halfway) into my pregnancy, I went to my Ob and my precious baby's heartbeat could not be found on the doppler. My Ob did an ultrasound and was almost certain that our baby was no longer alive. I then went to the Perinatal Specialists at Northside Hospital and they confirmed what my Ob had suspected. I had a D & E (Dilation and Evacuation/Extraction) on Friday, February 3 at about 7:30 in the morning. We miss our baby so so much. There are truly no words to clearly express our feelings of pain, shock, confusion, longing, anger, and brokenness.
I feel more emotions than I care to express right now on my blog. I do think that doing more blogging or journaling in the future might be therapeutic for me, but for now I am keeping most of my thoughts and feelings between my close friends and family and myself. Please pray for our family as we grieve and begin the slow process of healing and discovering what the new normal is for our lives.
