This has been a really hard week for us. On Monday i went on a routine visit to a high risk prenatel specialist. This is normal for me considering that have high risk pregnancies due to my Lupus. I showed up at 8am for an ultrasound. Within minuets it was obvious something was wrong.
The doctor told me that he couldn't find a heart beat and that our baby had died, probably within the past day or two. It was a total shock and took about 20 min. to sink in. I was not expecting this news. I was expecting a healthy happy baby and good report. The high risk doctor spent an hour explaining that the babies head seemed to be misshapen and that there was probably some chromosomal problems. This made me realize that it is better that the baby passed away but it still hurts. My OBGYN happened to be in the hospital right when i got the news, so they called here and she came right over to talk to me.
We schedualed a DNC for that same day and it was done later that day. It was an extreamly emotional experiance. Because Brandon used to work in the OR all of the surgons, nurses, and techs came to give their condolances. This was trully sweet but very draining.
I am now in alot more pain than i thought i would be and it is really hard to take care of the boys when brandon isn't here. Cinda, my sister-in-law was able to come over and help with dinner, bath and bed tonight and Sister Cromerty had Hunter for an hour to allow me to go to the store to pick up some needed items. Several sisters have come over to bring us food and to just give me a much needed hug which is greatly appreciated.
This is a very sad time for all of us but hopefully in time we will heal both physicly and emotionally. Thank you for all the support and prayers.
