This is not something that you really want to post about. But, since I use our family blog as a journal, this is something that still needs to be told...
I went in for my monthly check-up yesterday. I had just hit the 12 week mark for my pregnancy. The plan was to get some blood tests and hear the heartbeat. Sadly, there was no heartbeat. Since I'm still early in the pregnancy we did an ultrasound. It too showed that there wasn't a heartbeat. For an unknown reason, the baby had died within the past few days.
Deep down I think I knew that this was going to happen from the beginning, and then again that morning, before I went to the doctor I was reminded of this feeling. Obviously, I was and still am devistated. But as I sat and took all of it in, I came to the conclusion that I'm OK. I have been blessed with so many wonderful things in my life-most important of all my wonderful husband and son. I've also been blessed with the knowledge of my Savior and his plan for us.
This is a trying time for us as a family, but I know that we will get through this strong. I'm so grateful for the love and support from our family and friends. Thank you for your many prayers!
Side note- Surgery went well. So far I am doing well with recovery - minimal pain. I should be back on my feet in a day or so.
