Had the 4D Ultrasound Today

We were very excited to discover the gender of our baby today and watch her wave and stretch and kick, instead we found a little girl with no heartbeat. The baby stopped growth somewhere between 12-14 weeks. We are devastated. I type this through my tears. I am so very heart broken and sad and feel so bad that I was not there by my surrogates side. We were watching over the computer. All I can say at this point is I love her very much, I love my little girl and we have to figure out what we do next. I am waiting to hear back from her about what the doctor says. I am just so beyond sad right now.

She has already said we will try again as soon as we can. I love her so much!

Out of the blue, I found myself thinking about you this morning. I was so excited to see your post, but that excitement soon turned to heartache.
Although we don't know eachother, my heart cries for you. Words cannot heal the pain you are feeling right now, but I still want to say that my thoughts and prayers are with you.
May God bless you, your husband, your daughter, and your beatiful surrogate who continues to give so much of herself to make your family whole.
Someday it WILL happen for you.

I just stumbled upon your post. Even though you don't know me, we have traveled down the same long and dark journey called infertility. Keep focused on the small light at the end of the tunnel. Sometimes it seems like hope isn't there but the desires of your heart can't be stopped. Keep the hope in your heart.

Stephanie said...

I am so sorry! I have been thinking of you and came to check in. You will be in my prayers.

Kristen said...
