Just to let everyone know...

Last Tuesday I went for my 12 week ultrasound and we found out that my baby passed away. This has been so hard. This pregnancy has been rough from the beginning, but I thought that I was finally out of the woods. I got to have a dozen ultrasounds done in the first trimester to check on her, so I got to see her grow right before my eyes. Last Wednesday morning I had to have surgery to have her removed. Sorry to have waited a week to let you all know, it's is just now that I can even manage to type anything out. I want to thank my sister for being there at that horrible doc appt and for not leaving my side for the following three days. Seriously...I don't know what I would have done without you there! Randy was gone all week, and that made it so much harder.



I am still so very sad, but I am just trying to focus on the three wonderful kids that God has already blessed me with. Randy and I still want to have a fourth child, and we plan to start trying this October. This baby will never ever be forgotten though....ever. Tomorrow I have a doc appt to get the tests back on the baby, My doctor ran some chromosome tests on her to see if she could find out what happened.



I also want to thank my blogging buddy Lu. She is so strong, and as I was being rolled to the OR, I was thinking of her and her daughter Olivia. She inspires me so much...I am so blessed to know this incredible woman! You can click here to be inspired by Lu!



I also want to thank my husband, for being so wonderful and caring, I love you so much Randy! JennyKate sent me the most beautiful flowers along with the best candy ever last week! Thanks JennyKate so much...you are so sweet and I just love you so much! My mom and dad are so sweet, they are going to put a stone for baby DeWitt in the family cemetery. Thank you mom and dad for being so sensetive and supporting.



I hope everyone has a brilliant week. The weather in Colorado this week looks like it will be amazing. I am going to take the kids to the zoo and try to make this a wonderful week.

Melissa, you have been such an inspiration to me. I so wish that we lived closer because we'd have way too much fun together! I know that your baby girl has changed your life forever and for the better. The loss of a child makes no sense and it's incredibly difficult, but I can say from experience that there will come a time where you will be able look back and make a little bit of sense out of this loss.

Give it all to Him. Cry when you need to. Laugh when you want to and just be you. I'm keeping you in my prayers. I know He'll give you strength.

Big Hugs,
Lu

I know you don't know me, but I found you on Jenny Kate's sidebar. I just wanted to let you know that I have been through the exact same thing...twice. The dread when they pull up the ultrasound and you can see on their face that something is not right. The heartbreak when they confirm your worst fear. The numbness when you just can't simply feel anymore. I am sorry that you have to go through this, but I wanted to tell you that time does help the hurt a little bit. I will keep you in my prayers.
