d&c

On October 05 we went to the obgyn for a routine appt. The nurse tried to hear the baby's heartbeat with a sonogram but was having problems doing so she 'snuck' us in to do an ultrasound. She was having some issues and could hardly see the baby (which was supposed to be double the size that it was 2 weeks ago) so she wanted us to wait for the ultrasound tech and get an ultrasound by the tech to make sure everything was ok. She finally got there and the first red flag was when the baby measured 10 weeks and 6 days (should have been 11 weeks and 1 day). Needless to say, they couldn't find a heartbeat and gave us the options of letting my body naturally miscarriage or have a d&c. We voted for a d&c in the labor and delivery so that we could get it done the next day... everything went fine and now I'm trying to heal up physically and we are both trying to heal emotionally.

Hopefully I won't be gone from here long.... we miss and love our little baby and are never going to forget him/her....

Happy Birthday Asher! :)

So, not much is going on with me...  haven't been feeling so hot on and off the past week, and counting down the weeks until week 14!  Next doc appt is on tuesday, the 5th, first time actually seeing a doctor...  Bump is growing a bit...  around the 13th I'll take another pic and post the ones I have on facebook... 

but the biggest news is that Brielle and Matt had their baby!!!!  Asher David Coppel was born at 3:15p on October 01, 2010...  a 9 lb 1 oz, 22 1/4 inch long bundle of adorable!!  I'm so excited that I get to actually meet him in just over a month!!!!!  And can't wait to hear the horror stories of childbirth a mere 7 months away from my own experience, I'm sure :)  So happy for them!!!
