I have had that moment happen, a year and a half ago now, though my toddler (at the time) wasn't in the room so I didn't have that extra layer to manage. I'm catching up on my reader so I'll have to see what has happened since. I'm just so sorry you had to have that sucky, sucky ultrasound experience. And girl? Good for you for saying what you did at the end. I didn't have the guts to ask the tech to look again. But next time I would because nothing matters but getting the reassurance you need in that moment.Kazahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04953977625325499626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5283609455099320000.post-27805857062918854342008-08-06T01:06:00.000-05:002008-08-06T01:06:00.000-05:00My heart breaks for you.

Reading this post brought back all of the feelings I had with each of my 5 babies as I lay on that cold table, exposed and vulnerable, and was told that same news I just didn't want to hear. I wanted so much to just say "Don't say anything. I know. I can't hear this another time." My heart aches with yours, for you, for your husband, for Remi. <BR/><BR/>I am grateful to have "met" you today and pray you will be comforted just as you need it as you wait. Oh the waiting... I just couldn't wait this last time. I had to have the d&c and chose to have it done quickly so we could test the baby for chromosomal issues and to find out the gender. It just hurt to much carrying her around any longer, knowing she wasn't going to survive. <BR/><BR/>I have heard stories of not seeing a heartbeat and then later seeing one after waiting 2 weeks so maybe there is something to be said for that. I am so sorry this is happening to you again. <BR/><BR/>AdrienneAdrienne, Another Ordinary Miraclehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11970883436896687928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5283609455099320000.post-79916882208762087202008-07-29T21:45:00.000-05:002008-07-29T21:45:00.000-05:00Oh, Melissa, I am just now learning about your pai...Oh, Melissa, I am just now learning about your painful heartache.

That even though we claim we've been "there", we've only been in some version of "there"--not YOUR "there". <BR/><BR/>BUT... even as you sit and think "All these people care, but do they really GET IT?" There are parts of us --or rather I should speak for myself---there are parts of me that don't, but that does not make my heart break for you any less. <BR/><BR/>I've never met you--and may never this side of heaven--but you are a kindred spirit. Thank you for allowing me to see inside your foxhole. It is a privelige. <BR/><BR/>You will be sad and angry. You will question and blame. Remember not only the promise of God...but the promisemaker of God. His joy will be complete in you in ways that you will never comprehend. I pray his healing power on your heart, and a new hope in your soul. <BR/><BR/>much love...Tiffany Crawfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02009423809444887389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5283609455099320000.post-50994122516853094942008-07-29T18:58:00.000-05:002008-07-29T18:58:00.000-05:00I'm sitting here bawling as I read this...there ar...I'm sitting here bawling as I read this...there are just no words.Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03289615063392267734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5283609455099320000.post-63918527527478029432008-07-29T18:16:00.000-05:002008-07-29T18:16:00.000-05:00Sending you lots of loveSending you lots of loveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5283609455099320000.post-91598504678424329542008-07-29T17:50:00.000-05:002008-07-29T17:50:00.000-05:00You want me to go smack the nurse that called you ...You want me to go smack the nurse that called you "hon"??
