The Update For Today

2/20/2012

The results of the ultrasounds (internal and external) are that our baby is measuring around 8 1/2 weeks rather than the nearly 12 he should be at. There is also no sign at all of a heartbeat.

So we continue to wait. I'm leaning on Ben pretty heavily right now and I occasionally feel like a coward, but I'm very grateful he has the strength to allow me to lean on him this way.

It is a very good thing that he is this baby's daddy.

Dear Lauren & Ben, I am so sorry to see what is in this blog today.
I thought that Ben sounded sad when he called this morning but I had no idea why. My love & prayers for you both. Grandma T

Thank you so much, Grandma. Ben was going to tell you but then he just didn't have the heart to. I think that's why he suggested reading the blog. Somehow it's kind of tough to say on the phone, "we think we lost the baby."

Lauren,

I am so incredibly sorry. I know all too well these feelings, and they are so heartbreaking. My prayers will be with and Ben.

I will hold off calling you though, because I know that when I was having my 2 miscarriages, whether or not I was up to talk on the phone was rather hit or miss.

But I am so sorry to hear that this happened. You are very right. God is still good. But it still is so hard to walk through this.

I love you both.

-Emily

You guys would not believe all the people who have told me to tell you that they love you all and are praying for you - I'll have to relay all the messages later when I come over. :)

Emily, I know you understand very well - I remember feeling so sad about the babies and knowing there wasn't much I could say to you about them. I'm so glad you have healthy Sticky Baby now! I'm sort of confined to the chair or the bed for a few days, so I have plenty of free time to talk. Just as soon as I charge my phone, anyhow...

Elizabeth, I would actually believe it! It's been amazing how many people have been leaving us notes and passing comments through our relatives. I had no real idea how many people who keep an eye on us and have been praying for us.
