So for those of you who have not heard, this week has been a rough week. Last Tuesday I went in for my first ultra sound appointment. Jeremy and I were so excited to see the baby and hoped to hear the heart beat. When they went to do the ultra sound they could see the sac but no baby. According to my last period I was supposed to be 11 1/2 weeks pregnant.
Since they couldn't see the baby only the sac, they sent me for a more formal (hi-tech) ultra sound and were able to see that the baby was measuring as 5 weeks and 5 days old and the sac was 7 weeks old. Since I still had morning sickness, have had no cramping or bleeding or any other sign of a miscarriage, we decided to wait a week and go back for a repeat ultra sound to be 100% sure that it wasn't what they thought.
Today was the repeat ultra sound and everything looked the same so I am going in tomorrow for a D&C. We had prepared ourselves for the worst so today was not as shocking as the week before, but we are pretty devastated. We are healing and dealing each day trying to look at the positives like at least now we know we CAN get pregnant. We also have felt so loved and really feel thankful for our friends and family who have really embraced us been there for us!
On a happier note, we leave for Hawaii on Sunday! God must have known when we planned this trip that we were going to NEED it!
