Sad News.

We lost the baby.
The sonogram today did not go well. Dr. B thinks that the baby probably died before I ever even knew that I was pregnant. I was probably between 8 & 10 weeks, but my uterine growth was retarded to 7w1d. Dr.B says that in cases like this, it is most likely severe chromosomal defects that cause the malformation or sudden stop in formation of the embryo/fetus. But, your body is still technically pregnant, since there was the initial union of the sperm & egg into an embryo...so you still get all of the symptoms of pregnancy, but you get no baby to carry to term, to take home, etc.

We'll have a D&C tomorrow.

Thanks for all of the well wishes & support.

We're just sad. It's been a whirlwind of unexpected joy & now heartache.
