This is definitely not what I thought my next blog post would be about but here it goes.... we lost the baby. I went in today for my 19 week check-up and the Doctor couldn't find a heart beat. She then did an ultrasound and we couldn't see a heartbeat. I then went over to the hospital where they did an ultrasound and confirmed everything for insurance purposes. I think every ounce of liquid in my body has come out in tear form. Of course the first thing to pop in my head was, "Did I do something wrong? Did I lift too much? Did I not eat enough? Did I push myself too hard?" This was all followed closely by the thought, "The Lord is in control. For some reason you need to wait." My Doctor even said they never know why it happens like that. That someone can come in for their 15 week appointment and have a strong fetal heartbeat and then come back for their 19 week appointment and find no heartbeat. It just happens sometimes. Just as a side note, my doctor was fantastic through all of this. She was very kind and loving and she took care of all the details that needed to be attended to that I would have no clue about such as insurance issues and other doctors visits. What a blessing! I don't know why it happened like this but we're going to be OK. That's not to say that I'm done shedding tears but I'm OK.

A friend of mine recently lost a baby and she created a blog for herself to help her heal, and she invites anyone else to read it in hopes that it may help them as well. There are also some great links on her blog that you might find helpful. http://enduringwell.blogspot.com/
