Got the mop?

November29

Sorry for the suspense…I was hoping to have good news to share with Blog Land today.  Alas, not the case.  The secret I’ve been keeping?

I was briefly hoping this pregnancy might end differently than my others.  Unfortunately not the case.  I am 7 weeks today and the ultrasound showed no heartbeat.  The doctor gave me the same spiel I’ve received each of the other times I’ve gone through this (felt rather Groundhog Day-ish) about how I might not have ovulated when I thought and it might be earlier than we think – yada yada yada.  She scheduled me to come back in for a follow up but I anticipate this will resolve itself before that is necessary.

I’m okay – really.  Having Sabrina makes this easier than my past miscarriages.  We weren’t trying but we weren’t not trying either – it was a happy secret for a week.  I wasn’t going to share at all if things didn’t turn out well…but hell, I blog everything else I knew I couldn’t keep it in regardless of the outcome.

Sorry to the my play group mommies that I missed today because my appointment went so long.  I hope we can do it again soon.

    Ugh! Ok, well… I’m not going to tell you ‘I’m sorry’ just yet. I’d rather just cross my fingers and my toes that things are different for you this time. So… I’m going to be hopeful and optimistic for ya until you tell me differently. *hugz*! and lots of them!

    I’ve been right where you are Michelle. You seem to handle it like I did. Hopefully, things will work out in the near future. If I’ve heard it once, I ‘ve heard it a thousand times “once you adopt you’ll end up pregnant”. Like the last 4 years of trying will miraculously cumulate in a pregnancy now that Myah is home. Here’s to wishful thinking!

    Well doesn’t that suck. I’d offer you tequilla, but I’m going to wait until we know for sure that your doctor isn’t right. Take care of yourself.

    Is extreme swearing allowed on your site? There must be huge, complex emotions right now–too huge for me to say anything wise in a few lines.

    But I am thinking of you…

    Michelle-
    I’m so sorry. Take time for yourself and hug on Sabrina.

  19. On November 29th, 2007 at 9:47 pm Kim Says:

    Like everyone else, I’m so sorry. I wondered if that was going to be your news. I’m sure having Sabrina home with you does make it a little easier – but it’s still a loss. I’ll be praying that the doctor’s yadda yadda yadda just might be right this time.

    been there a few times too. no fun at all. best thing i got from therapy was the shrink’s perspective that with miscarriage, unlike other passings: “no one brings over a lasagna”. i guess that was her way of saying that these types of losses go unnoticed relative to others, but not by you and steve, of course. i am sending you the yummiest, cheesy virtual lasagna tonight. so sorry…

    Michelle, I’m so so so sorry. This is one of the times that I just don’t know what to say except that I’m sorry.

    Michelle,

    I just wanted to add my “I’m sorry” to all the rest. I am a faithful reader of your blog (just not a frequent commenter) and I had to chime in. Sending up a prayer for you now!

    Hey, Michelle. Just wanted to say I’m really sorry. And this just plain old sucks. I can think of better words for this, but they’re not very lady-like. I hope you had a weekend holed up together at home to spend some time together.

    Kate

    Oh Michelle, I’m so very very sorry. Like everyone else, I wish there was something I could say to help. I do hope the joy of sweet Sabrina eases the pain. Be gentle with yourself. Lots of love from Antigua, Cheri
