Well, last Friday our ultrasound didn't turn out quite as we'd hoped. The tech. was unable to find any cardiac activity. This came as such a shock as we'd heard the baby's heartbeat the week before & because I'd been feeling him/her move - even the night before the ultrasound I felt the little fluttery feelings. We were about 13 1/2 weeks along. That's a month further than we'd gotten with our first pregnancy (twins) almost 8 years ago. At least this time, we have two wonderful boys to help us get through the sadness. I see an OB-GYN in Sacramento on Thursday for what I guess is pre-op before a D&C...not sure when that will happen...we're getting very irritated & frustrated with the lack of communication from that dr's office. The only info. we were able to get was from my regular dr. contacting them.
Joshua's having a hard time understanding what is happening. He's still hoping for a baby sister. Nathaniel said "baby" for the first time today and pointed to my stomach. At least he'll eventually forget about this. It's horrible, still having to wear maternity clothes and all.
On the bright side...we had Joshua's conference last week and he is doing wonderfully...met or surpassed most of his benchmarks. That's reassuring. His writing in Spanish (what he gets instruction in) and English (what he doesn't get instruction in right now) is just developing wonderfully. He's such a smart kid!
Nathaniel is coming up with new words daily. Today was "baby", "frog" and "amen". He used to say a form of "ribbit" for frogs and at the end of prayers he would say "All Done!" Yesterday's big word was "waffle" (Brian made green waffles for St. Pat's day)...but it comes out mostly sounding like "waple".
