D to the C

That is right folks...Charly doesn't get a sibling just yet. Of course it is disappointing, but heartbroken...I don't think so! I love having a baby girl, and the thought of another one at this time just about drove me crazy. So January 18 I had a D&C. I had gone to see the specialist in Columbia, MO the Thursday before (at 10 weeks) and knew right away from the ultrasound that a D&C was where we were heading! Our poor sweet baby died at 9 weeks 5 days. 9 weeks 5 days is a long time in the life of a fetus... in 9 weeks 5 days you are now the size of a grape and resemble a small human. You have arms and legs and fingers and toes and all of your organs are fully functioning on their own. That's a lot of work, so I have to give our little one credit for working so hard and trying to make it. I know that all the babies that have grown inside me for a short amount of time have worked hard... but this one worked the hardest and tried the longest! I am saddened at the fact that never again will I have a child grow inside of me... whether it is for 4 weeks, 9 weeks or 40 weeks. Although I am saddened, I look forward to giving a baby (my baby) the life it was meant to have and the life it's birth parents can't give it. There is a sibling out there for Charly... I feel it. I know it. I look forward to the day I meet him/her!
