Angel Baby

I had my regular 12 week appointment on Monday. We have had some warning signs that something could potentially be wrong, but nothing definite. We still had hope, though we were prepared to receive bad news. After an ultrasound, my doctor confirmed that the baby had passed away. You could see it on the screen- so still and quiet. I am scheduled to have a D&C on Friday. I will be exactly 3 months. I am having some indications that my body may do this on its own tonight or tomorrow. I think I would rather have the surgery because I will be under general anesthesia and I won't have to feel anything. But if we have learned anything from this it's that our way is not always the Lord's way. I have to have faith that He knows what is best for me and my family.

Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers. This is more difficult than I ever imagined and I am so grateful from my family and friends. We love you all and appreciate you very much.
