An Angel in Heaven

I wanted to let all of you know that we now have an angel in heaven.

We went in for our 8 week sonogram and found that the baby didn't have a heart beat. We were very devistated. My doctor wanted to confirm this with a sonogram from a radiologist before we take care of it all. Today it was confirmed.

I never thought we would be here today. BUT I am so blessed to have had 8 weeks of life growing inside of me. I wouldn't trade it for the world. Life is an amazing thing. I am still blown away with how small cells are formed so simply.

We are sad. Our hearts are heavy. All of our baby things are being moved to our hope chest. I even went and bought new clothes yesterday so that I have things to wear.

Thank you all for your many prayers and thoughts these past weeks. I have felt surrounded by love and peace.

We are still praying for our little miracle. It will happen some day!

I'm here by way of the roundup and even though this isn't a recent post, I am sure you are still mourning this loss. I admire that you have been able to appreciate the life you had for such a short time and I admire your strength to see it in positive terms. I lost our baby a year and a half ago and there are times when I feel this way. But more often than not, I feel the loss, not the hope of it. Thank you for sharing this most private experience.

I am also coming by way of the roundup. I am sorry for your loss and hope you are still happy you were able to provide a good environment for your child for those 8 weeks. That is a very nice thought. Our first pregnancy ended with loss as well and I probably hit my lowest point about a year after that loss. Infertility is hard, but for me, it was harder after having almost had a baby. May your miracle happen for you soon.

First, may I say just how very sorry I am for your loss.

You post with such grace.

Here from the Round Up as well. I hope you've found peace with this loss over the last year. I'm sure the upcoming anniversary will be hard, but it sounds like you are very strong.
