It saddens me that my first post for the new year is a big loss for us. We lost our baby that was due in August :(. I was supposed to be 11 weeks pregnant and found that the baby stopped developing at 7 weeks. On Friday, January 27th I woke up to some spotting...everything just progressed slowly...cramping, back pain, bleeding...to the point that by Sunday the 29th I couldn't get off the couch. I went in Monday for a sonogram to check things out...that's when we found out we lost the pregnancy. I ended up going in for a D&C at 7:30pm that night. It was well needed and I'm so grateful they are able to do procedures like that so I could be comfortable.
Of course I prepared myself for the worst news when I went for the sono...something just wasn't right and deep down I knew it. Although I am very sad, I am happy that the pregnancy was still in the first trimester. I can't imagine what I would feel if I actually seen a fully formed baby on the sono that had passed. I know my Heavenly Father has a plan....I wish I knew exactly what it was! I am blessed with three beautiful kids already and I hope that I am able to be blessed with another. I first thought I would not want to try again, but I was wrong. I feel that our family is meant to grow a little more. I will try again for another baby soon...and hopefully we will be expecting again in the near future.
I am grateful for all of my family and friends who supported me through those 4 days of miscarrying. I couldn't have stayed strong without them...especially my mom. I love you all...<3<3<3
