We Are Sad To Announce...

Family & Friends,

We are very sad to announce that we are no longer pregnant. We went to our 2nd ultrasound yesterday 03/25/2009 with hopes of seeing the baby and heartbeat. There was nothing to see but the embryonic sack. The technician had us go to Dr. Miller's office and wait for her. When she came in she explained that what I was experiencing is called a missed miscarriage. The pregnancy, pregnancy tests and all of the symptoms were real but only the sack had developed and the baby had not. She immediately scheduled for us to have a DNC at the hospital for this morning. A DNC is basically removing the miscarriage while I was under anesthetic. The procedure went well and I go in for a follow up with Dr. Miller in 2 weeks.

This has been a very emotional time for both of us. Its just come as such a shock. One minute you're in the waiting room of the Dr's office excited and ready to see the baby on screen and the next you're being told there is no baby. Emotional is an understatement. We know this isn't the end by any means. It just hurts a lot. After our follow up appointment we should know if and or when we can try again. Dr. Miller is having tests done on the miscarriage to make sure that there are no chromosome issues between us that is causing the fetus to not develop. Of course, we hope for the best.

We will be in touch again when we know something more. Thank you all for your love and support.
