A Sad Day

Last friday I went for a routine checkup at my OB. She couldn't find a heart beat. Robert was at home with the movers so I went to the hospital to have an ultrasound thinking everything would be fine. After the ultrasound my doctor called me to tell me the baby was dead and had been for a few weeks and that I needed to have a d&c that day. Robert couldn't leave the house and so my dear friend Stephanie came to step in for him. The procedure went fine, and now three days later I think that Robert and I are healing. We wanted a baby so bad but we realize that these things happen for a reason and it just wasn't our time to be parents. We are so grateful for all of the calls, emails, and positive thoughts from those we love. We feel lucky that we are leaving Cape Cod with with close friends,healthy bodies, a strong marriage, and wonderful pets.
