Oh Shelia, that makes me so sad that you had to go through that phone call :(
Have you guys decided not to have anymore babies now? I really hope that doesn't sound insensitive.

Don't apologize for bumping this! We are your friends, and we go where you go on the journey.
I'm so sorry about the STUPID insurance program calling you. How awful to have your most sacred feelings stirred up over some quality control issue. Ack spit on them.
Maybe Andy can just call the OB office and pay the bill so you don't even have to wait. Not sure if it's something he would do.
AF is a mean old hag. I'm sorry you have her instead of your sweet precious baby.
Have you given any more thought to putting away the baby stuff?

That made me smile DeeDee
Magdalene had a fit to take her nap in the swing. With James the swing was still in their room when he was about this age. I had she hasn't gotten to use it as much the last several months. I can't even remember when we stuck it in the garage. Just happy to see her in it and she went right to sleep, so did James!
Andy wants to pack up baby stuff before Christmas. It's still a few months of bu I just don't know.

Thanks Cayce.
No, no plans for today. Andy is just now doing class. Normally he is finished by now. I want to do something but all that's open in this little town is Wal-Mart and places to eat until later in the day. So I'm sure we will just end up staying home.
Magdalene's not feeling great. She let me hold her a wonderful 30 minutes this morning all snuggled in my arms with a blanket over her.

So annoying. We keep getting collector mail for someone who has never lived at our address. I think they must have just given their collectors a false address.

I had a baby glass of wine this afternoon, not even a half glass. It's relaxed me some.

I hope you are going to be able to get some rest this weekend. How are you feeling today?
Speaking of debt collectors, I have had one calling me the past week and a half for someone I don't know. It really pisses me off that they continue to call like I am hiding her in my house and lying for her or something lol.

Andy's going to go and I'm staying with the kids. He works with her husband so it's better if he goes.
My head rang with songs and prayers all last night. I'm ready for a nap now. Hope the kids are ready to go down for a nap for me.

So sleepy this morning. Andy woke me up then felt bad about it. I was wired all evening and most of the night and just cound't get to seel. It was after 1 at least before I ever drifted off and woke before 4 to pee. Had a very hard time drifting back off, over 90 minutes when I did chach the clock. The kids at least slept all night without needing me to getup to tend to them. Looks like it's going to rain here again today. Can't wait until nap time.
I still think this hasn't all hit me yet.

Well, I feel amazing. Like the biggest weight has been lifted off of me. The nurses were all so nice and one had just had a d&c a few weeks ago. It was hard for her not to tear up. Dr Melton is just a wonderful man and Dr. Wish I had him for Magdalene's birth and pregnancy. He asked to pray with us before he left to get ready and it was so very nice. I don't hurt at all, only when I pee. I'm ready for a restful day at home with the kids tomorrow. I've done too much tonight, like being up now! But we have ants again, so at least it wasn't lifting anything. Went over the the neighbor's house for a bit. Her dad died of BrainCancer eaely Wed morning. He just sick in July so I havne't seen her much these last few months. We got to have a littl ecry together and talk about better more fun times too. I'm off to thee pilow and a pain pill. Don't want to wake up all sore. Love to you all!! (hugs)

Thanks Traci. I am taking James to a friend's house. I don't want him to think 3333we are looking for the baby when they do the u/s. I'm not sure if I'll leave Magdalene or not. She doesn't do well being left but I have time to decide later.

I can't sleep. James was in bed with us at one point and he started to snore so I carried him to his room. I thought it was almost morning but it wasn't. I woke again around 3 and haven't really slept since. Andy was up doing class and James got back up so Andy put him in bed with me. It was almost 5:30 and too early for a little man to start his day. Even with him back in bed with me and listening to his breathing didn't lure me back to sleep. I think I'm starting to cramp or maybe it's wishful thinking or the knot in my stomach has finally hit the rest of my body. Bree i thought about calling you Monday but honest, I was crying too much to see the phone to find your number. I really wasn't sure if I could drive home. Thank God it was still early enough I wasn't in rush hour traffice.

Sheila,
My heart hurts so bad as I see your terrible news this morning. This is not fair. This was not the plan. I don't want it to be true. I'm so very sorry.
I prayed for you this morning, and thought I would share some of that here.
Father, please comfort my friend Sheila in this time when no comfort makes sense. Hold her in Your tender arms, and fill her heart with peace.
We knew this baby such a short time, but already it was loved. Sheila fought for calories and rest for this baby. She invested dreams in this baby. She and Andy worked on names for this baby. We know the baby is with you in Heaven, and I ask that somehow the baby would know how much they're missed and still loved even now.
Help give her the right words to make sense of this for James, and better care from the doctor's office she will have to visit.
May she have the grace and energy to carry on with the rest of her responsibilities during the difficult days ahead. Amen.
We love you Sheila. Please let me know if there is ANYTHING I can do.

I am so sorry. That is the almost exact thing that happened last fall. The heart beat was low, then it wasn't there. I know this sounds insensitive but I was watching 7th Heaven and the dad looked at his daughter and said sometimes there is no getting over it, just getting through it. We are all here for you and praying for your comfort. It is hard and takes time. I am sorry you are going through this. MM if you want. When we lost our last one I was ten weeks, and it occurred to me Jesus loves us more than we can imagine, and it hurts him more than we can imagine when he loses a child to sin. I hope you can rest today. In Him All Things Are Possible

Oh Ki, Thank you!!!! I'm doing very well, concidering.
James really got me though. He overheard us talking, of course, and asked, "Mum if we lost the baby, when can we go find it? When do we get to see it on the TV" Poor thing. I can't find the right words to explain this lost isn't like when he losses a toy.

I had my 1st trimester screening today, the one to check for downs. There was no heart beat at all. Baby was only measuring 7 weeks 4 or 5 days. Sac was measuring over 10 weeks. I will find out tomorrow what will happen from here. So, this is why I don't feel pg, just sick. I think the Dr said there wasn't a heart but maybe it was just that they didn't get a beat on the u/s. He was talking pretty soft because I had both kids with me in the room and no one else was with me. I knew something was wrong as she started the u/s. That the sac was small and at first it was very hard to find the baby at all. her first measurement had the baby just over 7 weeks. Over all I'm doing well with the news. I'm very upset with the Doctor's office here. They didn't get a heart beat at my last appointment, Aug 21, and they played it off as just being too early instead of doing an u/s and checking. I had lost the baby already as I was 9 weeks at that one. So I drove 90 minutes one way to this appointment to have a Dr I've never seen before tell me my baby was gone. (sigh) I have a major headache from crying off and on for almost 4 hours now. Andy stayed home from his work dinner tonight to be with us as a family. The kids are going wild from being n the car or shopping cart all day. Oh, Thank God I didn't buy any of the cute maternity clothes at Target today. I would have had to stop on the way home to return them so I didn't have to make another trip to do so. (Almost 12 hours later) Sorry the phone rang like crazy last night. My mom called my brother and sister for me and they both called to chack on me. Andy had told several guys at work so their wives, who have gone through this called to give me support. I really don't want to see my current OB or anyone in her office again. I have to take James to school this morning and run by the other OB office and see if he will take me and talk to me about what needs to be done, what my options are. Please say a little prayer for us. I feel like this is a cruel joke someone played on us. Thanks for listening.
