Sad News

I've been debating on whether or not to tell anyone our sad news, and I thought it might be easier to do it this way than over the phone. Tuesday I went in for my first checkup after learning I was pregnant, and the baby was due in November. I told the nurse I suspected I was miscarrying, and sure enough, there was no heartbeat. I should have been 9 weeks along, but ultrasound showed only 6 weeks of growth. Waiting for a miscarriage is hard and heartbreaking, so next week I will schedule a D&C if it's not over by then. I can't believe Carrie had 5 of these, and my mom had 3! I guess on the positive side, I now have a new perspective on what a gift a baby is.
