Doctor Visit

Well I had an ultrasound. The baby is still in there. What I had passed was just a blood clot. So, it could be awhile before my body kicks in to deliver this baby. We asked exactly what happens with a D&E. It is not pretty, just as I suspected, and not something I want to do to my child. I'm sure some people think I'm crazy for continuing on like this and not getting it over with, but this was a baby from the time of conception and although he or she is dead I cannot imagine doing that to my child. Emotionally it is draining but I have my good and bad moments throughout each day. Please pray that I begin to sleep well. And pray for my Cuddly Boy who has had a fever all day. He's just miserable. Thanks everyone for your love and support! Oh yeah, my blood work came back fine so that doctor really seems ok with me just waiting it out now. As long as I'm continuing to stay healthy of course.

Glad to hear your blood work came back good and that your doc is okay with you waiting. I'll pray for sleep and for little cuddly boy.

Dear Jamie,

Oh, honey, my heart just goes out to you. I really wish I could be there for you. I pray that the Lord gives you the comfort that only He can give.

Love,
Kelly

Blessings for continuing on and allowing God to work this out. You are honouring this precious little life and that takes courage in today's world!

I'm keeping on praying,

I hope it allows me to comment this time!

Jamie, I had lost touch with you (didn't even realize you had your own blog!) but saw you on the Above Rubies yahoo list and found your blog.

I am so saddened to read what has happened! I will continue praying for you, that you will be allowed to hold this baby as you so desire, and that you stay healthy through the process.

I am glad your bloodwork came back good. I will continue to pray. And no you are not crazy, who would want to do that to their child. Plus, I read that it would be better if you delivered, it may lend to them finding out what is wrong and if it can be helped later. Can they try induction again, and what about pictosin? That is what they used to induce me. ~Amber
